It's crazy to think that we are celebrating 50 years of Title IX and I am happy to say that I am a product of Title IX. I was born in 1971, a year before Title IX was signed into law but I still consider myself a Title IX baby. There are moments when I look back on my life and career and couldn't imagine life as a female athlete without this law. As a young girl from Brownfield, Texas, who started playing hoops at the age of seven, basketball was life! I knew at a very early age how much I loved the game and that there was something special about me and that orange ball. I remember every time my brothers would leave to go play basketball, I would cry until my mom finally gave in and would say, "Go ahead and go, but don't come home hurt or crying." Hurt? Crying? There's no crying in basketball! I could never get enough of being on the court. Not only did basketball teach me about competition and how to deal with different personalities, it taught me self confidence and … [Read more...] about Sheryl Swoopes: I’m a Title IX baby—I made guys respect me as a baller

It is a painful subject we don’t talk about enough. Sharon Stone this week revealed she had lost nine children through miscarriage and criticised society for making women feel they have to cope with their trauma alone. The movie legend discussed her heartbreak on social media in response to US reality star Peta Murgatroyd sharing her own story of pregnancy loss. “It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally,” said the 64-year-old star. “Yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure. Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need.” The veteran actress, who went on to adopt sons Roan, 22, Laird, 16, and Quinn, 15, is sadly right. Sharon Stone and son Roan The NHS estimates one in eight women who know they are pregnant will go on to miscarry, making pregnancy loss much more common than the majority of people realise. Losing a baby in this way can be emotionally and … [Read more...] about Sharon Stone is right, women must be allowed to grieve their baby
