Your network can open doors, but the relationships you build are what keep them open. 🤝🏾

Great energy connecting with leaders, creators, and changemakers at ASCEND LA. I’m always intentional about being in rooms where ideas are shared, relationships are built, and opportunities to make an impact are created.

Keep showing up. Keep connecting. Keep building. 📈

It’s bigger than the game.
We’re building discipline. Confidence. Character. PURPOSE.

What they learn here follows them everywhere.
RISE UP. PUT THE WORK IN. BECOME MORE. 🔥

Some moments are bigger than a signature. 💜💛

Today, I had the honor of signing the beam for the topping ceremony of the LA Sparks’ new practice facility — leaving my name on a piece of history that will stand for years to come.

This facility represents more than a building. It represents investment in women’s basketball, belief in our athletes, and the continued growth of this organization and the game we love.

Grateful to be here. Proud to play a small part in something much bigger. And excited for everything that’s being built — literally and figuratively.

The future is bright. ⚡️🏀

JR. Sparks Guard Academy was all about work, growth, and confidence. 🏀🔥

Athletes came ready to compete, sharpen their skills, and elevate their game. Grateful to help create spaces where young players can develop both as athletes and as leaders.

2025 tried me… and still couldn’t take me.

This year didn’t break me — it refined me.
Grateful. Grounded. Still ascending. ✨

Year one with the 3x World Champions, the Los Angeles Sparks is in the books📚and I’m nothing but grateful.

From community courts to center stage, this season reminded me that purpose + passion always win. Building, learning, leading, and pouring into the next generation—this is bigger than basketball. Special thank you to the best family ever — @famu10 @blessedholmes34 @iamsandixon

My guy! Philly 🐶❤️

You’ve been more than a pet since day one — you’re family. My fur baby, my best friend, my little rock. It’s crazy how a 2-year-old labradoodle can bring this much joy, stability, and love into my life. I love this boy more than he’ll ever know. 🐾💛💜

What’s next?!? I wonder…
