Dishes & Dimes

We started Dishes and Dimes to have conversations we weren't seeing elsewhere, we knew it wouldn't be easy but we felt it was necessary to talk about the world around the game. 
Today we spoke candidly and respectfully on some of the issues taking away from the on-court storylines and with a bit of humor because if you don't laugh, you cry. But there are some conversations that we didn't feel responsible for leading. We still want to have these conversations, but we want to be a part of the convo and if you'll join us we want to amplify voices that want a space to speak. 
Thank you for sticking with us, we love you.
