Celebrated Jackie Robinson Day with some fantastic organizations last night - thanks to @bgcarizona, @LegendaryRootz, Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church and EV United Black Firefighters for joining us for a very special @Dbacks pregame!
Two weeks ago I wrote a viral thread about Black women in the 2000’s repurposing + recycling after a woman in sports praised her for “showing that women’s sports merch doesn’t have to be hideous”. And THIS is why I spoke up.
Black women like @friskmegooddd + @Chakierrah have BEEN upcycling sneakers to corsets + sports duffles to wearable clothes + they’re not afforded the same access, resources + opps. And they’re not the only ones continuing to build upon the foundation laid in the early aughts.
