In October, Baylor senior DiDi Richards suffered a spinal cord injury in practice that briefly left her with no feeling or movement in her legs.
She went through extensive rehabilitation, returned to the court and helped Baylor to the Elite Eight in the tournament. Respect 👏
I literally played in my first WNBA game last night. Still such a surreal feeling, and i wouldn’t want to be anywhere but New York!!! You guys are amazing!!!
Jojo doesn’t like doing the interviews.. she gets nervous, he makes her feel comfortable. (he also knows french) which we love for Jojo❤️🥲 (super over protective about this one🫶🏾)

Y’all 😂😂😂 at least 5 people have come up to me & said
“Congratulations”
I’ve just been walking not paying attention. Finally I’m in Starbucks line & someone says,
“Congratulations, & good game”
Me: huh?
“Go tigers”
Me: ah, thank you😂
I’d hate to tell them I’m not Angel
Who was most instrumental in
@Deauzya
's journey to the league:
"My family – whether that’s my dad working me out every day, mom supporting me through it all, or my younger brother encouraging me, rebounding, or just being that listening ear."
The hardest obstacle i’ve ever had to get over. Thankful to be back on the court with my team🙏🏾💗 Can honestly say i’m blessed and highly favored. Thankful for the man above🙏🏾

1st step forward of MANY 😈!!
I’ve been privileged to cover DiDi Richards these past few years. If you only know one thing, know this: DiDi is always real. She’s genuine in her support of literally everyone, perhaps the most welcoming person I’ve ever met. She brings a bubbly joy to every interaction. 🧵 1/9
man, this was hard to watch. said it before & i’ll say it again. thank you guys for the support during this TOUGH time .. but without
@AlexOlsonBU
i don’t what i would’ve done, thank you for sticking with me every step of the way (literally)❤️🙏🏾
