I want to speak directly with a star, not her stylist.

The actual act of sitting out doesn’t directly fight systemic racism. But it does highlight the reality that without black athletes, the NBA wouldn’t be what it is today. The league has a responsibility to our communities in helping to empower us – just as we have made the NBA brand strong.
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

Everyone says I drive like my grandfather, but that’s not always a good thing because he didn’t always watch the road because he’d talk to you and look at you.
