Now as she inches closer to script a new chapter in her life, she is getting all the love and support from her fellow cohorts from the NBA.

Ace gets Warrior nod

A’ja Wilson recently appeared as a special guest in the Draymond Green show. The episode featured the 27-year-old talking about the Las Vegas Aces’ “superteam,” and her controversial MVP snub in her championship season. Midway through the chat, Green shifted focus to the much-anticipated release of A’ja’s book, “Dear Black Girls: How to Be True to You”. The power forward of the Golden State Warriors extended a special commitment toward A’ja’s venture.

Green said, “Dear Black Girls, I’m committing to 100 books. I’m going to buy 100 books when this book releases on the 6th. A’ja and Clutch’s team are going to figure out what black girls this book should go to. I think it should go to all young girls but I am making the commitment to make sure we get this book in the hands of some young black girls. I know how hard it can be to get books especially coming from places like we come from. So, that is my commitment to the book.”

Origins of the Black Girls

The roots of A’ja Wilson’s book can be traced back to her impactful essay almost 4 years back.

In 2020, the 6’4″ power forward penned down a powerful piece of writing titled “Dear Black Girls”, in The Players’ Tribune. The essay features Aja’s personal experiences of being overlooked and facing isolation. For instance, there is a particular story about how she was asked to go outside at a classmate’s birthday party in fourth grade because the girl’s father didn’t like black people.

There is no denying that A’ja is a beacon of hope for all those who have been denied equal opportunities because of their color. She has on multiple occasions inspired the youth through her impeccable abilities on the hardwood.
