My eyes are filled with tears but my heart is full of so much love & joy knowing my sweet Grandmama Dorothy is resting with the Lord.
I could write a book on her brilliance, incredible elegance, grace, faith, strength & courage ...
Coach Staley did A LOT of interviews tonight but this might be my fav. 🥰
In the middle of media interviews she took time to talk to this young reporter who wanted to know why she got so emotional … “The Spirit of God just got a hold of me” 🙏🏽❤️🖤

#WIS10
Listen, this officer was trying so hard to hold her composure … and she was doing a good job UNTIL the GOAT walked right by her.
Dawn recognized & acknowledged her look of awe … ‘would you like to take a picture?’
Of course, the answer is always YES. ☺️

My heart is hurting & tears are falling … but I’m also grateful he’s no longer in pain & has claimed the ultimate victory.
Carlton Thompson, affectionately known as Gamecock Jesus, has been called home to rest with the Lord 🙏🏽🖤❤️🕊️ …
You want to know how much Raven has grown under Coach Dawn Staley? Listen to her talk about once crying in practice to now realizing that coach is so hard on her because she wants the best for her.

The security & NCAA staff are stressed 😩 and hyped 😆😎 at the same time … they say Coach Staley is one ☝🏽 of one ☝🏽 … THE ONLY coach who invests this kind of time engaging with fans.

Vice President Kamala Harris made appearance at the GamecockWBB shoot-around. She told the team that she’s proud of their excellence on and off the court.
Why does she take so much time to sign autographs ✍🏽 & take selfies 🤳🏽… Dawn Staley says she wants the FAMS to enjoy this journey just as much as she and the team are.
Bree Hall says after the

lost in the semi-final last year Coach Dawn Staley told her it was her job to get them back to the championship game … mission accomplished.

I slept on this last night & it’s still bothering me …
Now that there’s been a sufficient cooling off period, I need to address the confounding controversy that swirled on social media yesterday after Coach Dawn Staley gave all the glory to God in her post-game interview. 1/
There’s still more celebrating to do but for tonight, feels perfect to end on these thoughts from Tessa … “winning for my teammates, my family, for God ..”
Rest up FAMS, we have a homecoming & parade to look forward to! 🏆🖤♥️🐔🏀🌟

Tessa is so pure & so sweet, just like her shot. She says she isn’t sure that it’s hit her yet that she’s playing in her first

When we talk abt Dawn Staley being the GOAT & genuinely caring abt her players on & off the court, this 👇🏽 is what we are talking about.

fan.
Humble and complimentary to Caitlin winning this year's Naismith Award...
This girl can do no wrong in my book.
Coach Staley said over the weekend that Kamilla Cardoso is enjoying this tourney so much that it feels like it’s her last days w/ the team. She said whatever her decision is she’ll support her 💯%!
Turns out she was right. Kamilla has officially declared for the WNBA draft.
Today marks 5 years since the massacre at Emanuel AME that was fueled by pure racism & hate.
May we honor the powerful legacies of the Mother Emanuel 9 & encourage those who survived the unspeakable violence of that night by opening our hearts & minds to find a better way. 🙏🏽💜

Asked whether she believes transgender athletes should be able to play women’s sports Coach Staley says yes. She adds that she knows that opinion will have people flooding her timeline … but she’s ok w/ that.

#WIS10
I see a lot of comments/complaints abt this.
Here’s the thing, a non-violent protest is not organized according to comfort zone of others.
If you’re commenting on what the players did instead of asking abt the issues that moved them to act, you’re missing

She lives w/ pure authenticity, always walks w/ purpose in her power & has a heart of gold, moving with kindness & compassion in ways big & small … and a lot of ways that people never even have a chance to see.
