The session was moderated by former NBA standout Caron Butler and also included Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall and Dr. Kensa Gunter, a sports psychologist
“What’s going on now among people of color is I think is no different than what’s been going on the last 100 years,” Brown said. “The lack of resources, the lack or affordability, the lack of accessibility, the lack of information, I think it’s just being magnified right now during this time.
