I’m a professional basketball player in the WNBA and abroad. I started this blog in 2014 after my first few years of playing overseas. I realized I needed an outlet to deal with the loneliness, frustration and boredom. Sacrificing time at home with my loved ones and rest for my body has always been difficult but blogging helped me appreciate playing basketball year-round. I began taking full advantage of my off-court blessings— traveling the world, sightseeing, learning about other cultures and meeting so many incredible people that became friends. Since, this blog has evolved in many ways as I write about any and everything going on in my life. Consistently adding content is always a challenge for me but I’m definitely committed to it. Welcome and enjoy!
For me, travel and food go together like macaroni and cheese. One of my favorite things about traveling is trying cuisine from different regions, countries and cultures I’ve traveled to. I love researching and visiting the top-rated restaurants in various cities. Here you’ll find posts about those experiences as well as some of the at-home recipes I make.
Fortunately, I’m paid to workout for a living but if I wasn’t I’d still love the way an active lifestyle makes me feel— stronger, healthier and more energized. With that being said, I’m far from perfect. I have a few guilty pleasures (snacks & sweets) that are hard to give up. But I enjoy sharing my (physical & mental) wellness journey on and off the court.
Many things inspire me to create—reading, writing, sports, traveling, home decor, fashion, hair & skincare, children, and more. But my biggest inspiration comes from people. I’m often fascinated by experiences, ideas and stories that people share with me. I’m happy to use this platform to amplify voices that need to be heard and highlight their inspo.
