A Thank You Letter to Leaky Black

Posted Mar 13, 2023
Dear Leaky Black, On the court, you became a valuable asset for the Tar Heels. Off the court, you reminded us that you are, in fact, human. As someone with severe anxiety, I was embarrassed by it, but you made me realize I shouldn’t be. I thought to myself, "If Leaky Black, who plays basketball in front of thousands of people can face his anxiety, so can I." (Keeping It Heel)
