I'm fine.

It's okay.

Everything's going to be fine.

But I just feel like every year has been something with me.

And I think this year will be the first year where I can really just show up for everybody else.

And I'm really excited about that.

what is it like having all eyes on women's basketball during this time it's amazing we're like finally we've been waiting we've been waiting i mean you know you played in college like we've been here like i'm glad y'all are coming to the party you're a little late but welcome um like i said like this is the season like i'm one of the two vets signed still yeah i'm not gonna be a free agent so that's something that i don't even have to worry about that was by design right so for everybody like

So the front office at the time with the Sparks were around when I was peak illness time.

And honestly, we didn't know if I was gonna get better.

We didn't know what was going on.

And they were gracious enough to extend me an extension in the middle of me being sick.

I hadn't played in months, but they were just like, you know what?

Like, we're gonna trust that you're gonna get better.

You're gonna get back.

We're gonna give you this extension.

I needed the health insurance.

I wasn't worried about the salary.

I'm not afraid to work hard for something.

I knew I would make the money back on the back end.

But just having that protection, not having to worry about if I was going to be employed or not, where I was going to get my health insurance, if I was going to be straight with my medication, took such a weight off me.
