I’m thrilled that I’ve 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.
I’m especially excited about my presentation—I’ve never prepared this much for a talk before! It’s 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 don’t have to fly across the country for it!😀
As a former D1 basketball player at Xavier University, I can only imagine how impactful a space like this would’ve been during my college years—community, connection, validation, and mentorship are everything in today’s evolving and often isolating-“transferring” college sports culture.
I’m glad the BSAS exists and I’m grateful to be apart of it.
Also: yes, I’m very much looking forward to popcorn and Italian beef.
I’m coming….Chicago!
