Anyone who knows me knows how integral TV was to my adolescence in GA, hence all my old print editions in the last slide. 😅 Grateful to write the cover for a magazine I loved so dearly growing up, one that continues to shape, impact & challenge culture. Eternally thankful to be surrounded by people like @aiyanaish who mention my name in a room full of opportunities.
Happy #WNBA Tip-Off to all those who celebrate! 🎉 Had the honor of interviewing @azzi35 and legend @airswoopes22 for @TeenVogue about this historic moment in women’s hoops & what three decades of legacy-building means 🏀 (now, off I go to cram for my LegReg exam 🫠)
