I walked for the first time in 3 and 1/2 months today ๐ฅน itโs been a really difficult 3 months but Iโve learned so much along the way. Long way to go but Iโm grateful and proud of this moment โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐๐ป๐
Iโve been feeling pretty down since my injury. Going from playing to not even being able to walk is ๐ฉ . But Iโm sitting here watching the StudBudz stream laughing like Iโm hanging out with my teammates at AllStar Weekend. Bout to be tuned in all weekend ๐ฅโค๏ธ
I love you Lou โค๏ธ Iโve seen how hard youโve been working and how excited you were for this year. I know youโll come back stronger from this bcuz thatโs who you are. With you through it all ๐ซถ๐ป๐ค๐ป
Good luck to everyone in the Draft tonight!! I say this every year - donโt be too discouraged if you are not drafted! I was undrafted and waived many times in my career and now just got traded to a team in the Finals last year! Keep working hard and believe in yourself ๐ซถ๐ป
Something Iโll never forget: I got signed mid-season on a hardship contract the year Money switched to coaching. She rebounded for me EVERY day before practice. I went from out the league one day to having Seimone Augustus take the time to work with me every day ๐คฏ a true ๐

My season in the WNBA:
-played vs Lou for first time
-career high on 100% FG 5/5
-Diana Taurasi scored her 9000th point on me ๐
-picked up by Seattle
-played WITH my sister ๐คฏ
-played with Sue Bird ๐
-set the record for most game appearances before attempting a freethrow(35)๐
Excited to watch the Draft! Remember, as an undrafted player myself, if you donโt get drafted or you donโt make a roster at first try, there are still opportunities out there to play! The dream is not over. Work hard, keep getting better, & have fun on your journey!
