Transcript:
I would not be here today – preparing for the NBA draft — without my family. My grandparents are Deaf. My mom grew up CODA. They taught me to see Deafness not as a disability, but as identity... as culture... as strength.
Through them, I’ve had the privilege of meeting remarkable deaf and hard of hearing people in my life.
Now basketball is my platform. And through it, I carry my family — and the Deaf community — with me. I’m honored to bring them the attention, respect, and opportunities they deserve.
So I’m proud to partner with Gallaudet University – true champions for deaf people around the world.
