in my life of how playfulness can really, really expand the boundaries of what we know and love.
Yeah, I think like the pressure that we put on ourselves to, you know, a lot of people are just perfectionists.
And I think it's great to strive to be as great as you can.
But I think we lose sight of remaining authentic.
Like a lot of people lose our authenticity in trying to be authentic.
like pristine and perfect.
And so to your point, like approaching a lot of, you know, what we do with the acceptance that it's not going to go as perfectly as planned.
That's what makes everything relatable.
That's what makes, I think that's what draws people in more than if something was perfectly delivered because who is doing anything perfectly, right?
All the time.
I think one of the struggles in living or in trying to live in these two worlds that I'm in, which is the sports realm, but also the art realm, is that, yes, I have absolutely, you know, leveraged one to uplift the other.
But...
A lot of times when I step into one space and it's exclusively an art space, for example, I've gotten a ton of interactions from people that are like, oh, so did the Globetrotters get you here?
I'm assuming you're here because you're a Globetrotter, not more so because of the time and the work that you put into your artwork.
It is frustrating because I want my work to be recognized for the art that it is rather than for the profile that I have, particularly on the sports realm.
But at the same time, part of my mission, I guess, or like my North Star in life is to bridge this gap
In society where so many of our expectations are placed on athletes to be one dimensional, like just like everybody else, everybody is multidimensional.
The only difference is that some people just are afforded the opportunity to discover their other dimensions and some people just never got a chance to discover those.
And so as an athlete who was afforded the exposure and the opportunity to, you know, discover my other passions and interests, I want to make that crystal clear that athletes are not just people that put the ball in the basket.
So.
