Righting Narratives is about correcting or rebalancing stories, histories, and perspectives that have been misrepresented or overlooked. Sometimes, we even have to right the narratives in our own minds and rethink how we look at the world and ourselves.

Isaiah Mack for Mayor

Isaiah Mack is an NFL defensive tackle and former standout at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his college career, Mack earned All-American honors and was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2018. Known for his resilience and disruptive play on the defensive line, he recorded 20 career sacks and was a dominant force in his final season. After becoming an undrafted free agent in 2019, Mack signed with the Tennessee Titans and has since played for several NFL teams, most recently the Miami Dolphins. Being that Isaiah and Shannon are from the same hometown, they met up there for this conversation. Isaiah's narrative is one of hard work, appreciation of peaceful moments with family, and looking forward to settling into a normal life after the NFL. He gives his mom credit for where he is today.

Court of Emotions: Grappling with Grief as a Student Athlete

Recently, players like Caitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, and Kamilla Cardoso have brought major attention to women’s basketball. There are several other young women on that team that you don’t hear about who dominated at the high school level, but aren’t the superstars on their college teams. You don’t hear about the immense pressure, tough choices, and sacrifices they are being asked to make at such a young and confusing time in their lives. Wynter Whitley is an extraordinary athlete and former Duke Lady Blue Devils basketball player, who had a standout season her freshman year, but when tragedy hit, her game and relationship with the coaches was collateral damage. Her story helps us right the narratives about grief, self-advocation, and self-worth. It rights the narrative that we don’t always have to be strong, and it’s okay to take the time to heal when we need it.
