Sometimes people put their fears on you. How is this possible? There's no way that you can do this. I'm not most people. I'm an artist, athlete, entrepreneur, philanthropist, advocate, and mentor. I wear many hats. When I come into the room, like, I just wanna give my best. And I never wanna be in a place where I gotta look in the mirror at the end of the day, like, did I give enough? I was born to play basketball. I went from being unranked in high school, nobody knew me. Now I'm about to be a lottery pick. I always kinda just had a given heart and a given mentality because I I get it straight from my mom. I just always felt like it was my purpose to give back. Every opportunity my mom took, like, she took a risk. She quit her job. We moved to Atlanta. She was better the house on me when I was young, and it kinda all paid off in a very big way. Who would've thought I would've been rapping and playing basketball? But I made it my reality. Good been connected to music forever. My dad died before I was born. He was a rapper too. His name was Camouflage. Like, this worst time I heard his music, like, I got the chill bumps of, like, rank, like, this wasn't my dad. Like, ever since then, I wanted to just sound like him. Yeah. It's roll call. My chocolate is beautiful. Rocking it per usual. I'm loving every piece, man. From my top into my cuticles. Trying to play with my head. I think the beauty standards in the game have really evolved. I think players are, like, able to better themselves. I'm definitely a gloss girl. If I look good, like, I know, like, it's gonna be a good game. I think it's important to show, like, the little girls and the younger generation whatever our beauty standard is, like, that's more than okay. I've came into college and tackled something that nobody else has ever done, like doing music and doing basketball and doing it at a high level. And so I'm leaving knowing that I can do anything. I can take it to the next level and go even harder. I hope that shows a lot of young girls and guys that anything you dream, anything you believe is possible, like, it could actually happen. Because this was just a dream for me.
