Hitting 3-Pointers, Grabbing Rebound and Blocking Haters (Featuring Bella Bruce)

Bella is one of the most underrated basketball players in the DMV area. This Nova Venom 17U team captain has everything a coach is looking for in a player. She is aggressive on the offensive end while being unselfish and always giving 100% at all times. She has the good court vision and ball-handling skills. Bella’s also a good shooter. She always has a positive attitude and is very coachable.  Bella’s combination of strength, versatility, and athleticism is what separates her from many players. She can score, rebound and is a very versatile defender. Her presence on the court is very impactful.   http://www.hudl.com/video/3/13858336/6025eb89f31d360c6ce66c0e

Uncomfortable Conversations: Everyone Has Lost Their Minds

Uncomfortable Conversations: Everyone Has Lost Their Minds

Everyone Has Lost Their Minds! As George Floyd's murderer was convicted and Black America celebrated for somewhat feeling like we mattered, we learned that a teenager by the name of Ma'Khia Bryant was killed by a white police officer after being shot 4 times in the chest. I have had enough of online rhetoric and people telling me this was justified. Here is my rant on why there needs to be police reform and more.
