What an experience this morning at We Are The Life Church in Richmond, VA with my Globetrotters fam. We’ve been on tour since December, so today’s word was truly needed. I’m feeling uplifted, renewed, and filled with gratitude after an amazing message from Pastor Vernon Gordon.🙏🏽

Watching Michael Jordan’s interview with Gayle King reminded me that greatness starts somewhere. So while in Wilmington, I had to visit his high school. Walking those halls, you feel it. The work, vision, and belief. Proof that even the greatest to ever do it had a starting point

The Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro, NC is a must see. This is where the desegregation movement was ignited by 4 college students who chose courage over comfort. 4 young men took a stand and helped change the world with conviction and purpose. We need that same courage today.

It was an honor having Little Coach Chris the world’s youngest coach helping me out at the Globetrotters game. His viral moments have inspired people everywhere and you can already see the greatness in him. Bright future ahead, great kid! #harlemglobetrotters #followmyjourney

Enjoyed visiting @TJMonticello during the 250th year of the USA. I loved learning about Thomas Jefferson, especially the deep story of Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman who bore several of his children. A reminder that history is layered, and it’s important to understand all of it

Amazing experience at the We Them Ones Tour, absolutely hilarious! Can’t wait to have my guy DC Young Fly in Harrisburg, PA on April 10th at The Forum. Truly blessed for these moments. @TonyTRoberts is my brother for life! #harlemglobetrotters #worldtraveler #followmyjourney

Hard to believe it’s been five years today since I lost my father, my hero. His legacy reminds me every day to live with intention and purpose, to make a difference in this world, and to carry the Franklin name forward with pride. #legacy #cherishthemoments #familyiseverything

6 years ago today, we lost a true legend, Curly Neal. I’m forever grateful for the time I had to work with him and learn from greatness. It’s a different feeling when your idols become your colleague. This was one of our last appearances together, a moment I will always cherish.

Thank U to the director and staff at the Tubman Museum in Macon, GA. I truly appreciated the experience and the opportunity to learn more about the incredible Harriet Tubman, someone who risked everything so others could live free. Her courage and sacrifice continue to inspire us

Enjoyed visiting the Reginald F. Lewis African American History Museum in Baltimore. I learn something new in every city and country I visit. While I’ve earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, these real-life experiences have taught me lessons no classroom ever could.

Always a pleasure having the legendary @christuckerreal pull up to the game in Atlanta. Packed house, great energy, and I had the Friday, Money Talks, and Rush Hour star right next to me on the bench all game. Another unforgettable experience! #harlemglobetrotters #lifeexperience

Such an incredible experience visiting the final stop of the Underground Railroad, the very city that Harriet Tubman called home for 10 years. Every day is a new opportunity to explore, learn, and grow. Truly honored to travel these places and soak in the history.#followmyjourney

Jay Pharoah’s impersonations are second to none. Appreciate the love! He had me laughing the whole time. Absolutely hilarious! Can’t wait to have the real DC Young Fly in Harrisburg in April! #harlemglobetrotters #lifeexperiences #spreadlove #followmyjourney #dcyoungfly

Enjoyed visiting the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Honored to have met so many of the great athletes enshrined there throughout my life. True excellence. Can’t wait until my guys LeSean McCoy, Ricky Watters, and Micah Parsons get their gold jackets! 🏆#harlemglobetrotters

Happy Women’s History Month to all the Queens out there. 👑 Today and every day we celebrate your strength, brilliance, resilience, and the countless ways you uplift families, communities, and the world. Thank you for the love, leadership, and history u continue to make everyday.

After the game in D.C., I took time to visit the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History. Seeing myself in the museum twice, once with the Nike Freestyle commercial and again in the Harlem Globetrotters section, was a humbling moment. Just a kid from Harrisburg.🙏🏽

Washington, D.C., it’s game time! Ready to spread love and bring that Globetrotter magic. Let’s go! 🌍🏀 #harlemglobetrotters #spreadlove #bethechangeyouwanttosee #worldtraveler #followmyjourney

As we continue delivering the best entertainment to our city, we’re excited to welcome one of the hottest comedians in the world, DC Young Fly, to Harrisburg, PA! 🎤🔥 He’ll be taking the stage at The Forum on Friday, April 10th, hosted by Talent the Comedian. Let’s go!

As a little kid at my grandmother’s house, I used to sit and read the Guinness World Records, amazed by what people around the world were accomplishing. Never in a million years did I imagine my name would be in it one day. Dream big, work hard, and believe. #livetoinspire

Back in Philly today to put on a show… but first I had to check and see if I still had it. Backwards from half court, ALL NET. 🎯 Some things don’t leave you… they just get better with time. #Handles #spreadlove #followmyjourney #harlemglobetrotters #bethechangeyouwanttosee
