This week on The Work, Chloe and Brandon talk to Orlando Magic Point Guard Michael Carter-Williams.
Did ya'll know that Michael is named after his grandfather? His grandfather changed his name from LeRoy to Mike, having to assimilate to get more business as a black man in America. Michael talks about his legacy and gives us an insight to his family story.
Michael dives into Syracuse and his experience as a student on campus. Still today, he is heavily involved with the Athletic Department at Syracuse. Michael helped their Athletic Director re-craft his statement on Black Lives Matter after the death's of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
We learn more about the Bubble and Michael's experience protesting. He fights so hard for his daughter and future kids so that they can grow up in a better world.
A key message from Michael is to spread the word of social injustice. Educate yourself. Talk to your friends and family. It is important!
