At first I was nervous about being here all alone. I did not know anyone and the team was away until next season. As I began to go throughout the community, I felt more and more comfortable with sharing my experiences. Despite my fear, I have fallen in love with the area and the people of. I have the wonderful opportunity to interact with children and explain to them that they can accomplish any goal they desire.
Children are special, they are the future leaders of tomorrow.
Not only do I want to be an inspiration to children, but to adults as well. I want children and adults to feel that I am accessible, that they can interact with me and realize that off the court I am a person and I care. Detroit is so diverse and rich in culture and style. Entertainment is in an abundance in the city and surrounding area. Cafe Mahogany has become my spot to unwind and listen to jazz bands and other artists.
