Celebrate the young princess

 

[Gazoo]

I can't get over this. I lost in this as a kid. I think we almost had a few that made it. I'll be celebrating this like I was her dad... or erh... granddad.

I watched this live Respect. She's also a baller, she can dribble 6 basketballs at the same time. She can juggle tennis balls and keep her dribble as well. Talented young lady.

Congratulations lil sis. Through all of the oppression and institutional racism we are able to still rise to greatness in all aspects of life. Just imagine if they left us alone or if we played on a truly even playing field.

She deserves extraordinary respect. She and probably other hidden gems like her need our encouragement. Good Assist bruh.

Glad to hear you say that fam. All too often cats come on this board with negativity. They'll either say something stupid or won't comment at all. A reflection of our society unfortunately. Hooray for this girl and for you and your wife.
