Quarantine has been a time for people across the globe to explore their passions and try new things. It was no different for me. I got into baking, art, built a website, and collaborated with a brand for my line of clothing that you will be able to access from my online store soon. However, the creation and completion of "Off The Court with Ace Konig" is by far my best accomplishment.

I am a professional athlete. It's strange to finally be able to say that out loud when it used to be the dream of the 12-year-old girl that would work-out in the rain alone at Hickey Park in Coquitlam, BC, imagining every puddle was a defender and every shot a game-winner. Back then, "I want to be a professional athlete" was something that I would say with self-conscious anxiety, almost afraid to give substance to a dream that seemed so far away.

It is hard to fathom the fear and pain the black community is experiencing right now, knowing that you are a target because of the color of your skin is something that I will never experience because of my privilege. It is, however, easy to understand their anger.
