Not much has changed.
I love Breanna Stewart but to name a white woman SI Sportsperson of the Year as an Athlete Activist after all of the work Black women of the WNBA did this year...
We are not doing it right still.

BUT. The work that the Black women of the WNBA did, in fact, create change.
THAT/THEY should be the focus. In my opinion.

If you think this takes away from Breanna Stewart's champ status or work, you may be part of the problem.
That's not what it's about.
It's about the media and the role it plays in telling the story and whoever tells the story, writes history.

Black women consistently being erased as leaders IS the issue.
They are there doing the most important work. They always have been.

I will again direct you to the work of the Black women who cover the WNBA who have spoken and written on all of this before. Follow them. Read their work.

And perhaps think about why you are listening to me saying this when Black women are and have been saying this...
Listen to Black women.
Listen to Black women.
