Created in 2021, Nike x DICK'S Sporting Goods created a space for girls to embrace individuality and community through basketball. The It's Her Shot Mission is to Create a space for girls who ball to feel seen, safe, confident, empowered and connected, through access, impact, and community both on and off the court and they truly have done just that!
This is my first year attending the event and it will not be my last! I was invited by the brand to come out as a special guest to hang with the young girls and while I was there to inspire them...they inspired me.
The day began at 11 a.m. and I was there bright and early, ready to work with the youth. I knew I was there to inspire them but they left me inspired. To see these young ladies come out and be bold and try something new wasn't lost on me. I realized how important it is to dream and to remain open to new experiences. They had the chance to get autographs from Sheryl Swoopes, Allie Quigley and honoree Linnae Harper. The day was filled with several activations for the guests to enjoy including a photobooth, customization station, footwear trial station, bra house, hoop bus and more.
These moments are so important to me and hold so much value. A huge thank you to Nike and Dick's Sporting Goods for allowing me to apart of such a beautiful moment for young girls in the city. I hope to attend again next year! A special shout out to Brittany Elena and Janae Sims! We had a great time!
Until next time yall!
