I'm humbled and honoured to share this new co-authored book (with @Giancarlo_Ali, Braden Te Hiwi, Kelly Bull, Chris Chromarty, and David Wesley) coming out in April 2025. https://t.co/9y25BvNsY1

Many WNBA players have spoken publicly and boldly on issues like racism, misogyny and homophobia. Including critiques of the Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's recent comments. The culture of the W is clear. I hope @WNBA_Toronto is paying attention.

I'm so heartbroken and angry. I was hoping Rebecca Cheptegei might recover. May justice be swift and may women be able to run, and live free from violence.

"While Caitlin is fantastic and I think she's going to have an incredible career in the WNBA, there were women who were worthy of coverage prior to her, and I will not be silenced when it comes to that." - @McNuttMonica sets the record straight on the WNBA and Caitlin Clark
MLB using “a newly integrated statistical database covering records from Negro Leagues that operated from 1920 to 1948. The formal acceptance of the data comes three-and-a-half years after MLB officially recognized the Negro Leagues as major leagues in December 2020”
Half of Canadians are women.

There are sex-based differences in disease, diagnosis, response to treatment and outcomes.
I asked the government questions on women’s health.
Canada will put Viola Desmond on the $10 bill for refusing to move her seat, but then people don’t want to support @SarahJama_ when she refuses to move her seat. Always want to celebrate Black protest once Black people are safely dead.
Remember when Naomi Osaka was fined for refusing to speak to the press at the French Open?
And now this today.
Female athletes should not have to endure and navigate situations like this. Ever.
France's ban on hijab in sports is not only a violation of Sports and Rights, it is a stain on the event and the hosts.
If only the IOC had the courage to act.
Forcing women out of clothing is as violent as forcing them into it.
🚨🚨🚨 With only #100days left until the 2024 Paris Olympic & Paralympic Games, we call on #France + French sports federations to overturn all hijab bans & stop discriminating against Muslim women + girls.
