It is #ElectionDay in the U.S. On this day in 1872, Susan B. Anthony broke the law and voted for the first time.

Doing so was illegal because women were not allowed to vote.

She was arrested, charged with voting unlawfully, and fined $100 (which she never paid).

Let’s celebrate her legacy, and that of every person who fought for the right to vote, by casting ballots today.

In case you missed it, here's my interview with @MLBNetwork following the @Dodgers World Series victory.

Never, ever give up!

"It's just amazing what they did this year... they just kept coming back from injuries and kept fighting."

@Dodgers minority owner @BillieJeanKing praises the team's perseverance and what separated them from everyone else on the way to a championship.

"Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable.

When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary."

At the 2018 U.S. Open, fans were invited to "BJK Their Shoes” to celebrate the limited release of @adidas' AM4BJK sneaker, which modeled the ones I wore in the Battle of the Sexes in 1973.

Using the graffiti sprayer was so much fun.

Excited to announce that I have been selected as the Grand Marshal of the 2025 Rose Parade to usher in the new year!

It is such an honor to serve in this role for the 136th Rose Parade, and to participate in the pre-game ceremony at the Rose Bowl Game.

I'm truly thrilled to be part of the Tournament of Roses family. 

Best Day Ever!

Part 3: I've been having a bit of fun lately blind reacting to some tennis videos my team has collected.

One of the videos I reacted to was the greatest tennis match I've ever seen.

Parts 1 and 2 were shared earlier in the week. Check those out and let me know what you think.

Would you like to see more blind reaction videos? Let me know that too.

Althea Gibson, the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam, passed away 21 years ago today.

The Jackie Robinson of tennis, Althea broke barriers so those who looked like her could achieve their dreams.

Each time one of us continues her work for equality, we honor her memory. https://t.co/9ErLQarozw
