Thank you, @ebenezersamuel and @MensHealthMag, for having me on #StrongTalk to discuss THE PERILOUS FIGHT, the discipline behind my training, and why I still wake up at 4:30am every morning to prepare.

Let me take a moment to honor my trainer and brother, Josh Hidalgo. For years, Josh has remained committed to training me, turning down opportunities and ignoring those who told him his career would be better served working with other athletes. His loyalty and belief in me have never wavered. I appreciate you, Josh!

Whatever comes next, I remain focused on doing everything within my control to stay ready.

A few moments from my conversation with Megan Rapinoe for Why Are You Like This?

In 2016, Megan became the first white athlete to join our protest, kneeling in solidarity with @E_Reid35 and me. Ten years later, we reflected on what that moment cost, what it changed, and the power athletes have when they use their platforms.

Thank you, Megan. You’re family for life.

[NESSA @nessnitty]

In the 10 years since Colin @kaepernick7 began his peaceful protest, the personal sacrifice has been enormous. Because of the stance he took, he lost his NFL career, more than $150 million, and dealt with betrayal along the way.

After everything it has cost him, I wanted to know how he’s still been able to find joy and peace.

“I’m not gonna allow the circumstances to dictate whether or not I’m going to be happy.”

Some moments from New Orleans for my book tour!

Being reunited with my brother Eric Reid was incredible. He was the first player in the league to protest alongside me, and it was Eric who suggested that we shift from sitting during the anthem to kneeling. I’m grateful to call him my brother.

I appreciated the opportunity to sit down with @E_Reid35 and the incomparable @Realrclark25 to reflect on our experiences, both on and off the field. 

I’m grateful for @Bmike_2c for hosting us at Studio Be. New Orleans will always hold a special place in my heart. Eric and his family are family to me, and I’m grateful we had the chance to spend time together.

My memoir debuted #1 on The New York Times Best Seller List.
