Dawn Staley on a moment when pressure completely paralyzed her, and why the solution was to stop trying to lead like everyone else, and instead be unapologetically herself:
“I experienced something I’ve never experienced in my life. I was paralyzed. I can’t do this. You feel the pressure because you’ve got to perform.”
“You can���t be the one that dethrones the success that USA has had. I lost sleep.”
“I just kind of exhaled and said, ‘I have to do it my way.’”
“It’s a lonely place.”
“When it’s all said and done, it’s going to be me that failed or got the job done. So I just exhaled and said, ‘I’m going to do it my way.’”
“Don’t let this be an opportunity where you’re mad and in your emotions. You’ve got to learn.”
“Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you… and you just be the conductor.”
Courtney Williams on her first impressions of her PG Olivia Miles
“I mean she a little killer, aye man, I said “look let me move out your way”… happy to have her, happy to be back at my natural position and she out here killing it man, like I said this little joker here is like a baby Chelsea Gray, like she gonna be cold, she gonna be so cold. I’m excited to just be apart of the journey”
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our very own, Dee Freeman. She was a remarkable talent whose presence touched so many both on and off-screen.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who were impacted by her light. Rest in peace 🤎 🤎 🤎
Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.
