“On behalf of players literally all over the world right now, our established leadership in our Board of Player Representatives, the players who comprise our Social Justice Council and my fellow WNBPA Executive Committee members Layshia Clarendon, Elizabeth Williams, Sue Bird, Natalie Achonwa, Satou Sabally and my sister Chiney Ogwumike, we are tremendously honored and humbled to be recognized with the Jackie Robinson Sports Award - named for a man who never turned his attention away from the injustices, inequities or the feeling of powerlessness Black and brown people have felt throughout America - and we very proudly accept."

- @nnemkadi, WNBPA President, 2016 WNBA MVP.

Celebrate Black History Month, Women's History Mo

Celebrate Black History Month, Women's History Month and all year long with the WNBPA's latest statement t-shirt: American History: BUILT BY BLACK WOMEN. When you purchase this t-shirt you provide support for the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), a leading national advocate for Black women, and its Good Health Women’s Immunization Networks. NCNW/GoodHealth WINs will work to raise awareness about the benefits of immunization as a critical element of good health. NCNW’s primary focus in the first year of Good Health WINs will be listening to and activating NCNW member networks around COVID-19 and other immunizations.

NCNW will work to amplify the voices of Black women, who make 80% of family medical decisions, in state and local health policy networks. It will also build trustworthiness as a key strategy for addressing vaccine hesitancy and promote efforts to achieve health equity. NCNW will work with state and local immunization coalitions, program managers, retailers and other vaccine stakeholders to improve understanding and access by increasing diverse representation.

In announcing the WNBPA’s partnership with NCNW in this effort, WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike described it as representing “a powerful extension of [the players’] work around the Black Lives Matter movement in connection with our efforts to combat the ongoing global health crisis.”
