🏀 It takes a village. 🏀
Truth be told, I didn’t want Kyree to play AAU basketball. Between the travel, expenses, and commitment, I wasn’t sure it was the right fit. But I also believe that our Black boys need opportunities, goals, structure, and positive outlets that help them grow into strong young men.
For years, Kyree’s biggest challenge wasn’t his talent—it was his attitude. The good thing is that growth is possible, and he’s been working on himself day by day. Learning discipline, accountability, teamwork, and how to handle adversity are lessons that go far beyond the basketball court.
This season is especially meaningful because, for the first time, his father will be able to be present for games and support him from the sidelines. Having both parents able to encourage and guide him through this journey is something we don’t take for granted.
We’re asking our village to help support Kyree’s AAU basketball journey. Donations will help cover travel, tournament fees, and team expenses. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps invest in a young Black boy who is learning, growing, and working toward becoming the best version of himself.
Thank you for believing in our youth and helping us show Kyree that a community stands behind him. ❤️🏀
