It has been four days since the deaths of nine people, including Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, in a helicopter accident. It’s only been four days, but it’s felt more like months. I’m still surprised at how these deaths have affected so many people, including myself.

6 Rings… 7 Sneakers?
In commemoration of the newly released ESPN documentary, “The Last Dance,” I thought I should write about the 7 sneakers that Michael Jordan wore during each NBA finals game he won to get his 6 NBA rings that were shown during the documentary.

The Looney Tunes gang enlisted the help of Michael Jordan to win a basketball game against the MonStars that would ultimately lead to their freedom. The movie came out in 1996, a…
The sneaker world is doing its part to help the pandemic
People have been panic buying masks and gloves due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The panic buying has left healthcare workers and firefighters without masks. These workers on the front-line are being forced to reuse masks and other protective gear. Since this news has become so widespread, New Balance has decided to help make masks to…
The positive things I have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic
We are roughly three months into 2020 and so far we have seen the death of a sports star and now a worldwide pandemic. Since the day of Kobe and Gianna’s death, everything has felt weird. I feel like I’m in a never ending episode of the Twilight Zone. It has been difficult for me…
Good News in a Time of Chaos
COVID-19 is taking the world by storm. The world is panicking. People are unnecessarily stocking up on food and toiletries. Businesses, amusement parks and schools are shutting down. It feels like I am in the twilight zone. All I hear about and read about is how terrible the coronavirus is and how it’s destroying the…
How the Sneaker World Shows Disparity between Men and Women
‘I want those,’ I thought as I looked at the Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Limited Edition. I liked it mainly because of the colorway which is White/Pink Quartz/Galactic Jade/Black. The tongue, heel and insole has a floral design. As I looked through the sizes, I realized they only came in mens sizes. At first…

Re: #girldad
A few weeks ago, I posted a blog titled #girldad. I was hesitant in posting it because it’s a bit personal, but I went ahead and posted it anyway. I felt that if I didn’t post how I truly felt that I was being inauthentic for this blog. I kept this blog post quiet until…
Why Not?
I have been in the process of reading Win Forever: Live, Work, and Play Like a Champion by Pete Carroll. I am about halfway done and I resonate with just about everything he has to say. I resonate with the fact that he has the “win forever” mentality. He states in the book that “the…

The Legend of Kobe Bryant to Me
I grew up mainly interested in baseball and football. My family never really watched basketball, and I most certainly did not play the sport (except for the one time I joined an intramural team in undergrad). But the one player I have always kept tabs on is Kobe Bryant. I don’t know his career stats…
