WNBA champion Natasha Cloud spoke of her passion for social justice on Thursday.
Cloud, who had previously spoken against the American government on social networks on the cost of living in May 2024, spoke this week to defend Dei after President Donald Trump ordered the elimination of several Government programs from the DEI.
“Power systems work because they were still intended to work,” Cloud told the Associated Press. “And it’s time to break a system that has only been on white men.”
Cloud added that she believes that the country puts “money on people”.
“I understand the commercial aspect and I understand the human aspect,” said Cloud. “Too often, this country has put the human aspect aside and put profit and money on people.”

They have not yet arrived, but certainly in preparation.”
