A WIN AND A SPECIAL VISITOR

Hello everyone! Let me start off by telling how great my week has been so far. After our loss to Indiana, we bounced back after a very slow start against the Chicago Sky. I had a chance to see my former teammate Sylvia Fowles and her mom, then The Reverend Jesse Jackson who attended the game came in the locker room after. He was such a kind man and spoke about how well he thought we played and how much he enjoyed the game. He said he wants to let everyone know how much fun our game is and that we should be getting more people to our games because in his words " you girls don't play." Lol -- and he's right. He also spoke to us briefly about the importance of Title IX and how we need to make sure we stay on top of it so that young girls can continue in sports. Following this we took pictures with him  and we then closed in prayer Led by Mr. Jackson. He prayed for all of us, Mr. Nelson Mandela, and for our country. With that being said I want to Say Happy Fourth of July to all, celebrate the independence but also be careful.  We have Washington Mystic coming up on the 6th but in the mean time we will enjoy DC a little but but also rest up to try and get us another road win.

Take care everyone, I will speak with you all soon.
