While the regular season may be coming to a close, the league has been relentless in its demand for social justice.

The WNBA dedicated the season to Breonna Taylor and to the Say Her Name Campaign.

“Learning to appreciate how impactful these women really are in basketball and society. A lot of women have been on the front line before it was cool to be there,” said former Los Angeles Laker, and now Sparks head coach Derek Fisher.

The Los Angeles Sparks are gearing up for the postseason driven by their very own, "Change Has No Offseason," campaign.

The Sparks' two time most valuable player, Candace Parker, has been juggling the responsibilities of being a player, activist, and mother.

“I think of myself as a role model, but I hope people don’t try to be like me, just as a basketball player, but as an individual in what I’m doing off the court," said Parker.

Back in July, Parker arrived in Bradenton, Florida with her 11-year-old daughter, Lailaa, by her side. 

Parker has been leading tough conversations and panels over Zoom from her temporary home in Florida. She’s a working mom looking to set the right example for other mothers and for her daughter. As public as her platform may be, the Sparks star will have the same conversations privately with her daughter.

“You know last night it brought up a lot of topics that I need to address more in talking and communicating with Lailaa,” she said.

Candace Parker knows that the fight for change has no offseason.
