As Super Bowl and Olympics take the stage, what sports will reveal about America in 2026 As millions of sports fans gather for a period of universal connection, the backdrop could not be more conflicted. And it's just beginning.

It’s never lost on me about what it means to offer my two cents in these important moments for major platforms that continue to make space to contribute.

β€œWhen you’re writing, you’re trying to find out something which you don’t know. The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don’t want to know, what you don’t want to find out. But something forces you to anyway.β€œ

I always felt our paths were bound to cross (s/o Jina DuVernay). Last night, it happened. The conversation felt as familiar as I’d anticipated, and the audience’s energy renewed my ardor for the sheer power of storytelling.

I did not write about it in the book, but I wore a Park Madison NYC T-shirt with their names on it the Decatur Book Festival in 2019, I reviewed β€œWhen They See Us” for public and academic outlets, and I spoke their names every opportunity I had, knowing our histories were connected.

In many ways, this was a profound, full-circle moment β€” professionally and personally. The β€œCentral Park Five” case has been ever-present in my research leading up through my first book.

Last night, I had the privilege of sitting down with Raymond Santana to discuss his new young adult illustrated memoir, Pushing Hope. The book traces his powerful journey from his move to Harlem, through his arrest and trial, time in prison, and his ongoing fight for justice since his exoneration.

I thought I’d come over here to see @profloumoore.bsky.social posting about @nba.com opening night.

Community sports watching ain’t been the same since that guy ruined the other site.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

The echoes of Jackie's courage, a constant presence in my thoughts, writing, and teaching. On this #JackieRobinsonDay, the silence of the sporting world feels heavy, a stark contrast to the world's unraveling.
