A'ja Wilson is THAT GIRL 💅

Not only did she hit the game-winning shot, she became the first player in WNBA history to record back-to-back 25+ PTS and 10+ REB games in the Finals, and now holds the record for the most 30-point postseason games!

Have heard any of her songs with her husband as The War & Treaty? 😍🔥 That voice is still ringing bells!

This album was smooth from front to back! 🔥 Great debut! Many of the album cuts really could’ve gotten play on quiet storm hour.

This! I’m about function! A shoe that can be worn with multiple ‘fits & a good pair of 👟 & extra underwear. Anything else- If needed I’ll find it where I land.

“Wing it” comes in when you have banked years of rehearsal hours! You know the set, steps, song & sound like the back of your hand! That is why the greats & not the Aint’s are able to do it!

Right! As a kid I always appreciated & enjoyed seeing the spray painting “art” images on the train or the random open space.
Not the tagging! But real the fly art. This is airbrush, but I love this guys airbrush work too! & how he captured the spirit of the real sprayers🤗

Maintainin’ In The Madness @maintainin.bsky.social · 20h

It did! 🤗The subtle nods to Black culture- the Essence magazines on the coffee table or being read. The sprinkling of Black music- jazz, r/b, rap & dance.
The art & posters on the walls showing Black figures.
I know its history is now complicated, but at the time it was refreshing to see.

I did upper this morning! I might have to show & prove soon to keep up with y’all 😂🤣
