Iām thrilled that Iāve been selected as a speaker for the upcoming Black Student-Athlete Summit, Inc. in Chicago next week! With hundreds of college athletes from all divisions and sports registered, this promises to be an incredible event.
Iām especially excited about my presentationāIāve never prepared this much for a talk before! Itās been a meaningful opportunity to let my creativity flow as I explore the impact of Black sports films on emotional suppression and mental health.
What makes this even more special? I donāt have to fly across the country for it!š
As a former D1 basketball player at Xavier University, I can only imagine how impactful a space like this wouldāve been during my college yearsācommunity, connection, validation, and mentorship are everything in todayās evolving and often isolating-ātransferringā college sports culture.
Iām glad the BSAS exists and Iām grateful to be apart of it.
Also: yes, Iām very much looking forward to popcorn and Italian beef.
Iām comingā¦.Chicago!
