The Modern Southern Woman
Life for a woman south of the Mason-Dixon line has historically been portrayed as an existence of niceties, casseroles, cotillons, and looking polished in the sweltering heat. Southern women are often perceived as either well-mannered, obedient conservatives with a deep collection of recipes, or as cigarette smoking, non-working, undereducated women that can often be found barefoot and pregnant. Yes, there are other depictions of the southern woman but let’s be honest; the modern southern woman is not Scarlet O’hara, or Honey Boo-Boo. In 2022, being a Southern woman is a mixture of the past, present, and the future. We are evolving, and, to be honest, we are changing the game!

Coaching Football & Systemic Racism
Sports have been said to be one of the world’s most level playing fields. Talent, drive, hard work, and performance supersede almost all else most of the time; at least where players are concerned. Yes, athletes are, generally speaking, judged mostly on their ability to execute and win games. But does this performance based evaluation extend into the realm of coaching? Where football is concerned, my answer is no.
