When I’m being harassed on a daily basis over basketball games, and I’m having obscenity’s and death wishes for me and my family sent my way because you’re expressing your “truth”, it’s hard for me to get on board with that.
My hope is that the amazing and talented players that come after him don’t have to be subjected to this type of shaming, name-calling, and public scrutiny for playing the game that they love.

I’m tired you you

calling my husband out of his name. It is extremely childish. That is my name as well, and many other peoples name. You’re disrespectful, and I’m extremely offended by your behavior. You should apologize.
@RealSkipBayless
It’s very disheartening that you would choose to continue to shame my family name. Today was a really sad day my daughters and me. The fact that you can’t respect a simple request not to try to tarnish my family name is saddening and such a pile on. It’s extremely hurtful.
As far as my husband goes, he is his own person. I don’t need to defend him. I love and support him through all of the unwarranted hate and negativity that he receives. I speak up and share my experience and knowledge for those who do not have a voice.
I don’t do the things that I do to receive attention, to get clicks, or for show. This is not a game to me. Basketball is a game. This is my life, my children’s lives, and my families life. Shaming anyone for any reason is never the answer.

My tweets were not a “rant.” I sent a series of tweets since there are only so many allowed per tweet. To insinuate that my tweets were wild or impassioned in any way is false. Again. Be mindful of the way you preface things. Thank you.
My career is focused around encouraging and supporting others in living in their truth, finding their voice, and finding their peace. This is actually what I’m doing. My behavior aligns with someone who is speaking their truth.
When you are a powerful person in todays socially driven society, you have to know that using certain derogatory words to describe another person (regardless of if it’s your “truth”) hold so much weight.
NAME CALLING or STEREOTYPING: Giving a person or an idea a bad label by using an easy to remember pejorative name. This is used to make us reject and condemn a person or idea without examining what the label really means.
It’s very important to understand the difference between name calling and “telling one’s truth.” It’s even more important when you have a platform and a network to share your “truths” with millions of people. It requires a certain level of responsibility.

You’ve got to stop calling people out of their name. You are very disrespectful and a bully. This is why so many young people think it’s okay to exhibit this type of behavior. Social media has become such heinous place because of people like you. My name is Westbrook.
Why are we so focused on things that aren’t important? Why does good news travel so slowly? Why do some people do anything for likes and comments? Why do we sensationalize negativity? It’s something I will never understand.
My son Noah (3y) is overcoming a random fear of statues.. I’ve turned to desensitization, and placed a mini statue on the kitchen table to join us for all of our meals.. Now he’s building statues out of legos. 👊🏾 Did that!
Emotions are the driving factor behind most of the decisions that we make. Our ability to connect with our emotions will directly impact the way we react to various situations.
Things are so heavy right now. It’s okay to jump up and down and celebrate the small victories. We all need something to smile about, and especially during the tough times.
I’ve never met anyone who’s reached success beyond their wildest dreams without being authentic to who they are. Tap into that thing that makes you, YOU. You’re 1 of 1 my friend.
You may not be always be given “the okay” to progress to the next great thing in your path. Don’t wait for outside validation, faith, or motivation.
Let your “why” be your guide. Trust in YOUR preparation, intentions, & capabilities to propel you forward.
I’ve learned to stop anticipating that things will go back to “normal.” What is “normal” anyways? Do we even want things to “go back to normal?” Instead, we can choose to go forward with new intent, and believe that beautiful opportunity awaits. 🖤
EMOTIONS THAT MOTIVATE
JOY can motivate us to be more open, connect.
FEAR can motivate us to be more reserved, to run, to hide.
SADNESS can motivate us to isolate, mope, & seek comfort.
ANGER an motivate us to lash out, attack, and fight for ourselves.
Competition > Comparison. So much of what has been dubbed ‘healthy competition’ is looking more like comparison. Consider the thought that you’re your greatest competition. Compare who you are today to who you were yesterday. That’s how you win!🖤

I need something to watch. Nothing deep. I don’t get to tv watching until late night, and by that time, my brain is already fried. Something fun & light is the vibe. Any suggestions?
Note to self: stop rushing through life... be present. Don’t scarf down each meal to get back to child rearing. Those are fake tears. They will be okay.
Be blessed y’all. 🖤
