🏀 41st MLK Convocation Recap 🎤✨
The 41st MLK Convocation, hosted by UCSC, took place on January 30th at Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, CA, and was an unforgettable evening of inspiration and empowerment.
Emceed by Stan White II, Director of RSF Basketball and a dedicated community leader, the event featured an incredible keynote from Chamique Holdsclaw—a pro basketball legend, Olympic gold medalist, #1 pick in the WNBA Draft, 4-time high school state champion, and 3-time NCAA champion.
Chamique shared her journey through basketball, opening up about her struggles and triumphs with mental health. Her honesty and wisdom left a lasting impact on everyone in attendance.
A huge thank you to Stan White II for leading the evening and for his continued work in uplifting our youth through sports and mentorship. His mission—“Tribe 1st, No One Left Behind, Especially Our Youth”—was felt throughout the event, reminding us all of the importance of community, unity, and support.
This event was more than just a gathering—it was a testament to the power of resilience, connection, and mental health awareness.
