Guilty of this.

I’m new to keeping up with the WNBA and still learning about the different teams and players. But my intro to following the WNBA was white players like Sue Bird, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi & Sabrina Ionescu. https://twitter.com/mkbogg/status/1295379693957517312
It’s been important for me to recognize my biases and intentionally learn more about Black WNBA players.

The WNBA is full of dope Black players. @Layshiac is gender nonconforming and very influential in challenging heteronormativity in the WNBA. She’s also nice with the rock.
. @_ajawilson22 & @PHEEsespieces host the @WNBATea podcast and, only four episodes in, they’ve secured conversations with KD, Elena Delle Donne & Dame. Both of them have also been named players of the week this season.
. @jordin_canada has thrown some of the cleanest passes I’ve ever seen. PERIODT.
A few weeks back, @SylviaFowles broke the WNBA rebounding record with 3,357 rebounds, passing her former teammate and current assistant coach Rebekkah Brunson (who is also Black).
This story about @brittneygriner is pure goodness.
In a few short weeks, ROY candidate @ChennedyCarter has quickly become the best player on the Atlanta Dream.
. @Arike_O went off yesterday with 33 points on 6-7 shooting from three-point range 🔥 https://twitter.com/arike_o/status/1295397306469167106
. @dearicamarie is out here being mom of the year in the Wubble and still dropping buckets 💕

. @angel_35 made the original suggestion to the WNBA to include names of victims of police brutality and social injustice on players’ jerseys this season, which led to Breonna Taylor’s name being displayed on the back of all players’ jerseys.
