"At last year’s US Open, Osaka wore seven masks before and after her matches each bearing a different name of a Black person killed by police or a victim of racist violence.
"In an effort to spark conversations about the harm inflicted on Black lives,she placed her triumphs alongside painful emblems of the violent toll of white supremacy.
With her absence in Paris,Osaka is speaking to us again, this time about Black women’s wellness & mental health"

"Whenever she’s ready, I’ll welcome her return to the court. For now, I’m thankful for whatever way her decision illuminates the tax levied upon us in white spaces that care only about what Black women can offer, but never what we need," @reneeygraham #NaomiOsaka
