She became the first Black player in the @NWHL. Then, the @NHL's first Black female pro scout.
@SportBlake's journey wasn't an easy one, but she continues to break barriers today and serves as an inspiration for many.

Hard to see, but necessary to share. Hatred will never get us far. Honest question: What can we do together to combat this? More education, more dialogue? Enough is enough. Imagine having to read this about the person you love💔
