Diaspora United

Kanu’s Revenge, Marcel’s Momma, and Serena’s Legacy


Listen Later

Courtney & André are back on the mics to discuss the USWNT's two-match series with Nigeria, Gotham vs. North Carolina, upcoming NWSL matches, the start of D1 Arkema and the WSL, plus the legacy of Serena Jameka Williams.

They get into their concerns about the complicated nature of Vlatko's system and the simple passes that are getting behind the backline. Courtney feels sad for Gotham, who caught another L despite playing well. Then they ask if the WSL is the Blackest it's ever been??? Then in Heated & Hyped they both talk a lot about the experience and emotion of watching Serena's farewell, and discuss what she means to Black women, and what the Williams Sisters should mean to everydamnbody.

Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all.
