LEARNING EACH OTHER AND GETTING IN THE COMMUNITY

Hello world, let me share with you what's been going on. We (the Seattle Storm) have completed our exhibition games and have come up with victories in both.

We have learned a lot from those game and are looking forward to capitalizing off of that. I have been really learning a lot and I know that there is more to come in that area. I really enjoy my teammates and u and truly happy that I am here.

More importantly, I have already started getting out in the community. Nakia Sanford and I were at the Girl 5k run on yesterday and it was so amazing to see those kids accomplish finishing the race; what was also great was seeing the parent get involved by running the race with to help them out. It was a touching thing for me to see.

We will be opening up at LA on the 26th of this month and we will be looking to start off in the right direction. Until then there will be nothing but preparation.

 Ok that's it for now, I will be back in touch soon.

READERS CREATES LEADERS

Hello Everyone,

I know that it has been a long time, but I have been running every since I got home.

I got back from Russia, unpacked and repacked, spent a little time with my family and then headed out to Seattle.

I practiced for a few day with my new and exciting team, and from there had to head over to Maui. I spent three days in Hawaii giving back to the kids and somewhat enjoying the Island. I had a great time with the kids. I was joined by Lawrence Wright, Glory Johnson, and DJ Fisher of Defining Sports. We all had a blast, but most importantly we all love giving back.

I donated 300 of my books to the island and had the opportunity to read as well as get feed back as to what the next book should be. The kids had a lot of questions and the interaction was great. I know the next book will be much better and it will definitely continue to flow from the first book.

I want to take this opportunity to Thank the people of Basketball Maui for having us as well as "Readers Create Leaders" for allowing me the opportunity to share my story. I am looking forward to the future of this.

From Maui I left and met my team in Los Angeles where I got off the plane and played in our exhibition game. It was a pretty decent game, we did come away with the victory, as well as learned a lot about some things we need to work on. Overall we did a very good job. I am looking forward to the season and all that will come along with it.

That's all for now. I will be back in touch soon.
