With the culmination of multiple black murders, protests sparked across the country and changed America forever.
As a black student-athlete, I felt very connected to these protests and couldn't just stand by and do nothing. This was my generation having to come to grips with the world's injustices and how we would address them.
The MSAC (Minority Student-Athlete Committee) was born through that reflection and conversation.
As student-athletes at Nebraska, we understood that we had a platform and wanted to use it to speak up and voice our opinions on the issues that affect all of us.
We wanted to push for equality, equity, and justice for all people here at the University. That meant having tough conversations, being inclusive, and looking into opportunities to educate ourselves on the issues that impact us.
It was the start of my own journey to fight for what I believe in.
