I am heartbroken by the recent news of a young woman’s life taken by intimate partner violence, which deeply impacts the sports world. My prayers are with her family, loved ones, and all who are impacted by this devastating loss.
Through Soul Healing Consulting and my long-standing work with the NBA, I focus on keeping conversations about relationship safety, wellness, and healing alive for players and their families. These are not distant issues, they are real, urgent, and life-altering. It matters that we keep these topics fresh and create space for processing, prevention, and support.
I remain committed to offering culturally specific strategies, resources, and compassionate guidance for those navigating the impact of violence in all spaces. This work matters, and it must remain central to how we care for ourselves and one another.
