Mikayla Boykin Talks with Arielle Chambers
Bigger than ball! We've seen players continuously use their voices for justice. @DukeWBB's @mikayla_niyel has been rapping to get the message across. I think it's dope that she's really out here making music and creating visuals for advocacy. pic.twitter.com/ncCXtuCEYD

A great Players Tribune Interview with Lexie Brown and Dee Brown...
Â
"When @lexiekiah_4 was growing up and I would be at the games, people would be like, 'Oh, that's Dee Brown's daughter' Now I go with her and they're like, 'That's Lexie Brown's dad!' So I'm proud of her."
