“Solidarity is not the same as support. To experience solidarity, we must have a community of interests, shared beliefs and goals around which to unite, to build Sisterhood. Support can be occasional. It can be given and just as easily withdrawn. Solidarity requires sustained, ongoing commitment.”—bell hooks.
From luxurious dinner parties to career elevating workshops, Las Vegas’ social club, Black Girl Mixer, curates a plethora of spaces for Black Women across the social spectrum to gather and gallivant, to connect and commune, to bond and build.
Women rallying to champion women in sports is a way of strengthening the energy and empowering the legacy of women athletes similar to the way that men gather to champion their favorite players and teams. The Women of Black Girl Mixer celebrated together for one of their ‘Aces Night Out’ functions at the WNBA Las Vegas Aces vs Chicago Sky Friday night game at the T-Mobile Arena. This
Although A’ja Wilson missed her second consecutive game while healing through a right ankle injury she suffered during a previous bout with the Sky, the 3x WNBA champions ran it up and secured an overtime win, beating Chicago 98-90.
After a triumphant challenge with less than 90 seconds left in overtime that eliminated a potential two-point score for the Chicago Sky, the Las Vegas Aces (15-5) were the victresses, securing their 500th win for the franchise.
NaLyssa Smith led the team with a season high of 29 points. Finishing with 18 points and 6 assists, Chelsea Gray secured the win with less than fifty seconds left, alongside 19 points from Jewell Loyd and 16 from Jackie Young.
Skylar Diggins led the 6 -14 Sky, putting up 19 points with Kamila Cardoso’s 16 points and Natasha Cloud’s 15. Azura Stevens scored 11 points, as well as Courtney Vandersloot.
On Sunday Night at home, the Las Vegas Aces without All-Star A’ja Wilson, took their first loss 84-68 against the Indiana Fever and without All-Star Caitlyn Clark.
Las Vegas Aces visit the Portland Fire on Thursday.
