Kiah Stokes - Professional Women's Basketball Star

Kiah was/is a favorite of mine---she was an exceptional UConn Women's bb player--and a nice person. She has some strong views--most are correct, in my view, some naive, but she's still seeing the world outside of College, high school and home--the real world is different.
I wish her continued success in everything, including US House of Reps, she does. Bill Bradley did it why not Kiah???

I'm on record stating that Kiah and Moriah were my favorites while they were there, for different reasons, but favorites none the less. I continue to follow her in the WNBA.

One of my all-time faves. Loved those block parties.

It may be useful for readers to know (or recall) that Kiah is the biracial product of an interracial marriage (her dad is black). She clearly and understandably identifies proudly with black people. We don't know how her parents helped shape her perspectives and sensitivities.

She is but one of many UConn players past (Kaleena), present (Kia, Saniya), and future (Lexi) who were born and raised in similar circumstances. (Sorry if I missed any.)

Gabby and Napheesa.

She's not only a successful basketball player, but also a competent promoter of tourism to her home state.

Gabby and Napheesa.

And Bria Hartley (for the past players list).

From Geno just before Kiah's Senior Night:

Later Thursday, Auriemma would tell reporters, "She is the absolute epitome of what you would want in a student athlete. She is a great human being. She is a great teammate. She is a great friend. She works diligently in school. If somebody said, 'Kiah Stokes is the face of your program,' I would be like that's pretty good. She kind of represents what we're all about."
