Chicago is the greatest city in the world. I appreciate having the opportunity to discuss our great city with @ChicagosMayor.
I look forward to continuing to  work closely with Mayor Johnson and his administration to continue to identify ways to help our city grow.

All of these coaches have touched a LOT of lives over a long period of time. Happy to be and have been a part of the rich Chicago fabric of amazing basketball. The really good basketball coaches produce good players and great people.

Basketball teaches you about life. I don’t get to as many games, but most of my strongest and longest relationships have been through the beautiful game of basketball…

Congratulations to the Curie Condors on winning the Chicago Public League Basketball Championships.

My parents taught us to hold our heads up and stick our chests out even when society hasn't always been kind to people who looked like us. It was great seeing @RevJJackson at the Interfaith Breakfast. He put many miles on the road of equity and eradicating racism. #Iamsomebody

HUGE honor to host my good friend, @ChrisWelch_JD, Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives for a gathering at my home. His historic journey is one of the most inspiring in "American" politics, not just the great State of Illinois. I look forward to continuing to build!

@SharkeyCTU1 should not be allowed to call Black women @chicagosmayor stupid!

One measure of a racially maturing society is we can engage in fierce and robust debate without damaging the psyche of any demographic.
