  • Muhammad Ali

     Muhammad Ali

    By: Cece Hymes

    Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer. They called him “The Greatest” heavyweight boxer of all time.     

    He was definitely one of our favorite sports icons.  Did you know that Muhammad Ali fought Joe Bugner for the first time. He was gifted a bedazzled, Elvis styled robe from Elvis Presley himself. Muhammad Ali was never one to back down from a fight? His legacy  will be remembered forever. Here is some of quotes By him:

    “Don’t quit-suffer now, and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

    “Every man wants to believe in himself. And every man wants to become fearless. We become heroes when we stand up for what we believe in.”

    “Nobody has to tell me that this is a serious business. I’m not fighting one man, showing a lot of em, here is one man they couldn’t defeat, couldn’t conquer. My mission is to bring freedom to 30 million black people.”

    I enjoyed the movie Ali, it was good, and Will Smith played his role really well. It showed part of his life journey. If you haven’t checked it out, you should watch it.

    My team and I got a chance to do media at this event.  It was a great cause and they met their goal. Got to say congrats to Yusaf Baber Foundation along with 21 reasons to give. A lot of people came out to show their support and to play a great tournament in bowling.

    I should have got out there and shown them my skills. lol  They had some special guests such as Ms. Juicy, Teddy Riley, Damion Hall, Derez Deshon, Mendeecees and many more.  Glad to be invited and can’t wait for the next one.

    Again congrats to Yusuf and Josh Powell on their accomplishments and doing great things in the community.

    There are so many things that go on in the Atlanta area and I am thankful that we can all get out and support and network with each other.  Make sure to follow and check them out. Also make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl

  • Billie Jean King

    Billie Jean King

    By: Cece Hymes

    Billie Jean King is a former world tennis player. She won 39 major titles. Did you know that Billie Jean King  won the Battles of the Sexes tennis match against the 55 year old Bobby Riggs?  Billie also is the founder of the Women’s Sports Foundation.

    Billie Jean King inspired so many people she also has an action figure to share with the world. She is doing so much to inspire others. She has a library that she teamed up with the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation and Dodgers.

    Here is two of her quotes that stood out to me:

    “After attending the T20 World Cup & watching the Aussies win in front of a crowd of 86,000,. It’s no surprise they are so beloved. When women’s sports are given media attention, sponsors, & marketing they deserve, they thrive.

    “Don’t let anyone define you. You define yourself.

    We definitely have to give her roses today. She is a sports icon and inspiration to the world.

    Jackie Joyner Kersee is a retired Olympic gold medalist considered one of the all-time greatest female heptathletes, she won three Olympics gold medals.

    Did you know she was a starting forward in basketball for UCLA’s women’s squad? Sports Illustrated voted her the greatest female athlete of the 20th century. Jackie Joyner-Kersee is an active philanthropist in children’s education and women’s rights. She is the founder of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation, which encourages young people in East St. Louis to pursue athletics and academics.

    I love this quote by her:

    “There are many women who came before me who didn’t really have the same opportunities that I have had. That’s why I always wanted to be a great ambassador- not only today’s generation-but for the women who really didn’t have a voice but who paved the way for me.”

  • Serena & Venus Williams

    Serena & Venus Williams

    By: Cece Hymes

    The Williams sisters are two professional American tennis players. They have won plenty of awards and are definitely one of my favorite sport icons. Together they are a great team and can defeat anything that comes their way.

    I love that they support each other as sisters but not just that as women. Their father was their coach that inspired them to be the best they can be. It’s great to have that support system within the family. I like it when they team up for doubles and play tennis together.

    Got to give these women their roses today. Definitely love the sister love and being each other’s number one fan. Teamwork makes the dream work. Family that sticks together.

    Let’s see what 2023 will bring. What is something you love about Serena & Venus? What is a moment you would like to share about them? Make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl.
