    Angel Reese Strength in Numbers and The Power of Social Media

    Angel Reese Strength in Numbers and The Power of Social Media

    Angel Reese is an amazing woman. She's a winner. A great friend. Great teammate. And a marketing genius. She loves to learn and she has "it". And she has a "why" that motivates her and she's just getting started. 2,000,000 people tuned in to watch her pre-season game on a social media feed. 2,000,000! It's unprecedented and what she's doing to quiet the haters and build her brand despite the false narratives and lies is brilliant and I love it.

    Kim Mulkey and Coaches Should Do More with Their Wardrobes

    Kim Mulkey and Coaches Should Do More with Their Wardrobes

    Kim Mulkey and coaches in my opinion should leverage their respective platforms to amplify mental health, anti-bullying, and all marginalized communities and people. Coaches have access to platforms many don't and can do so much more. Instead of wearing nice outfits and bling, howabout similar to how Lance Armstrong raised 100s of millions for cancer research and awareness via his LiveStrong brand, namely a $1 bracelet, wearing clothes, hats and more that could do so much more. Use your social media in practices, games, pre and post game pressers and everywhere to do more.
