What happens to kids when parents are imprisoned? What legal aid groups are helping Black American parents form plans? 🤔
Nasty story cuz he was just helping kids out and essentially covering all ancillary expenses for the kids on the team (uber rides to practice, catered lunches from local black owned restaurants for the team, physical therapy and “recovery services” and gear) Teddy - god bless…
