The Cross Over - Teresa Edwards Bears Her Soul in Lioness Magazine

Hello Soul in the City Goers,

It's me Mara and before I hit the hay, I had to just drop this quick note...The Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement was held on August 12th, 2011 and I had the pleasure of being a part of it all. From the press conference with Dennis Rodman and other inductees; to an one on one interview w/Teresa Edwards, my mentor and finally to the Enshrinement where basketball greats such as Charles Barkley, Dr. J, Scottie Pippen and coaches like Phil Jackson all came out to support the class of 2011. Edwards truly represented in rare "B-girl" style!! Seeing her walk down the aisle to receive her graduation jacket and then again on the red carpet looking fabulous, giving me a wave of appreciation and a look like, "I did it" was truly a site to see. I gave that look right back to her like, "YES YOU DID!!!", [ not that she was trying to do what she did, but she was just great at it!]

Teresa being recognized among her peers and colleagues in the league was truly an honor. I was so proud and very grateful for the opportunity to experience it all and I look forward to capturing the gem(s) from the next class, but none will shine as bright as the grace that was on the face of Ms. Edwards...

So, that being said...I wrote about her in the latest issue of Lioness Magazine. Check it out!
