INSPIRE
I have wanted to have a shot like this ever since I
saw the shot of Michael Jordan in this pose when
I was a young girl. Basketball was my life once
upon a time. I was blessed enough to get a full
scholarship to both Duke University and Butler
University, and I am still a fan of both awesome
schools. Yes, I am a woman. Yes, I can palm a
basketball. Strong is beautiful, and I will teach
my daughters that until the day I die. This picture
means a lot to me personally. It tells a story: my
journey. It may be 28 years later, but I still feel like
one of the luckiest women in the world to have had
this experience. – Shannon Burton
