The racism and hate on my TL rn from having a tweet exchange with Angel is crazy.
This young black queen truly wears a crown that most of yall couldn’t even lift. 🫡
This is where we need our allies.
I would love for our white counterparts who play to step up and say what it is. There’s a difference in how we perceive white and black players passion for the game.
This has been one of the toughest decisions of my career. But, I will be foregoing the 2020 WNBA season. There’s a lot of factors that led to this decision, but the biggest being that I am more than an athlete. I…
I want y’all to know. I love

. I love how they play. I came in today unbiased and ready to watch good basketball.
When I walked in and witnessed racist slurs and banter from fans. I immediately shifted.
Sports is a universal language. What makes it so beautiful
Representation matters. We matter. She matters. Her dreams matter.
Seeing her, means you can be her. I’ll never take my role and responsibility for granted🖤
As an pro athlete I will lose deals because of my support of Palestine. I won’t get certain endorsements sponsorships because of my stance moving forward. I knowingly take food out of my families mouths in hopes that another can eat.
I choose my moral compass over money.
I wanna personally say thank you to the NY fans. The LOVE y’all showed me walking off the court last night was unexplainable.
Not in my wildest dreams did I a mid major underdog ever imagine a sold out Barclays crowed giving me a standing ovation 🤯🙏🏽
The Barclays crowd gives Natasha Cloud a huge ovation as she walks off the court. An incredible performance from Tash today: 33 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals. She waves on her way to the tunnel.
I own my truth. And I’m so thankful for my ability to CHOOSE what was best for MY future.
@PPFA
thank you for helping a panicked 19 year old who’s source of protection broke. 🙏🏽
Natasha Cloud & Colin Kaepernick we’re both adopted and raised by loving white families that helped them become pro athletes but still they despise white people?
Make it make sense

I have respect for

lived experience in his country. I would expect him to have the same respect for MY lived experience as a black gay woman in my country. You have no idea what it means to walk my journey or anyone else’s for that matter.

#ONLYINAMERICA
that her ungratefulness and disloyal speech are constitutionally protected. It's good to know she's being educated by her colleague.
@itskerrii
queen I support you. It’s time to break the stigma surrounding athletes use of marijuana.
I have my medical card. I play at the highest level my sport has to offer and I use medicinal marijuana for anxiety, recovery, and sleep.
Paige Bueckers was asked about potentially replacing Caitlin Clark as the star of women's college basketball next season.
"I honestly hope next year I'm not the focal point and the only person that gets attention. I hope as media, as players, we can spread the love a little bit…
Saying see you later to a city that means the world to me. DC y’all brought me so much happiness over the last 9 years. I could never repay you for taking a chance on a mid major kid no one believed in. Y’all will forever be my family🤍

Im just gonna leave this here: we need our white co conspirators to stand with us and to fight for us. But, we don’t need them speaking for us. We love y’all, but you don’t know this trauma. So help amplify voices of black/brown women and men. Step behind and uphold them.
I’m choosing to be on the right side of history. Like I have always felt I would be.
Innocent men women and children are being massacred in front of our very eyes.
Human lives aren’t just “casualties”.

I just feel like people would vote differently if they knew the public could see it. Cause 4th place. You’re petty and should lose your ability to vote.
Also if you about that life. BE about that life. It’s giving 🐱.
Unpopular opinion. I love coach Dawn letting her team play in these close games without time outs to stop the other teams momentum. You gotta go thru it to get thru it.
If you’re not battle tested early….it makes march madness so much harder.
With talent getting better and stakes getting higher in women’s basketball. We gotta start talking about the quality of officiating.
There is too much impact on games as a whole rn.
Forreal I really appreciate all the love. The competitor in me is a sad girl. But I’m very proud of myself and this squad for weathering every storm thrown our way this season.
Our country is trash in so many ways and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times.
Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues separate

I am proud to be bisexual.
I am proud to be black.
I am proud to be a woman.
I am proud to live out my truth.

Good afternoon good people🗣️
WBB is taking over yet again. So I just want yall to remember this..
Your support of them should follow their long dope ass careers into the W.
The league with all your favorite hoopers of the past/present. 🤗
I don’t know what college kid needs to hear this. STAY YOUR ASS IN SCHOOL.
1. NIL changed the game.
2. 144 spots.
If I was in college I would stay🤷🏽♀️
America is NOT pro life. They’re pro birth.
We still pay women less than men.
Not every woman has access to health care.
We don’t focus on fixing and building our education system.
Price of housing….disgusting.
White players are “passionate” and “competitive”.
Black players are “classless” “thugs”.
It’s reckless narratives that continue to divide us.
I’m riled up after a phenomenal final 4 because y’all are just sick ass individuals.
I wanna open a coffee shop. That serves as a safe space to all. & also somehow work in free tutoring for kids/community nights where we offer things like learning about wealth management, mindfulness teachings, etc.
Y’all need to tune into the

today at 3!!!
Side note. 3pm?
@espn
I know your ratings are through the roof rn with these badass women. 3pm for a championship series. Y’all know you’re dead wrong.
Let’s talks about it:
Stop being confused that mid majors are smacking/competing with bcs schools. We act surprised and honestly it’s disrespectful. There is so much talent that gets overlooked because kids either didn’t choose or weren’t deemed “good enough”
I stand on what I said yesterday. But let me elaborate in politically correct form:
In my 7 year career this has been the most frustrating year of officiating by far. I am not perfect and I don’t expect perfection….BUT we (every team) are expected to play at an elite level
I really be sitting here sometimes like how are we like this. How do we allow money and power to strip us of our humanity and compassion. It’s truly sickening.
I have one in my car too.
Doesn’t warrant death.
Doesn’t warrant 7 bullets to his back.
Who wins in a gun and knife fight? Are our police not trained to deescalate a situation? Or is that only with 17 year old white boys who try to/ have committed mass shootings?
@DijonaiVictoria
DT came down shot a transition 3.
I contested.
She followed thru and punched me in the face.
Foul got called on me.
And she made it. +4
I got subbed out.
Shoutout to my new shootah🐐😫😂🤷🏽♀️
Brittney Griner has been illegally detained in Russia since February 17th, 2022. I’m urging the

Just a reminder:
- It’s ok to not be okay.
- Not everyone deserves access to you.
- Trust your gut.
- God got you.
- You’re never too much for the right person, job, situation.
- Gaslighting isn’t okay.
- You’re indispensable.
- Protect your peace.
- Don’t dim your light.
I think it’s really crazy that AT can dominate the way she does every night. Which hasn’t been done EVER statistically in our league….and is not front runner for MVP talks.
A rare talent deserves her flowers. Opponent or not…
