Celebrating Diana Hicks Sherer

In Celebration of Black History Month and resistance to the ongoing Anti-DEI movement in the US. I want to celebrate Diana Hicks Sherer.

She is not a world-renowned author but does have a fictional book titled "World Champions Only," about relationships and behind-the-scenes deals made for the Fight of the Century.  Diana was a Soul Train Dancer from 1980 to 1988. She was one of the trailblazing female sportswriters who covered various sports. She later became the Director of Marketing and public relations for Forum Boxing.  She was also one of my Partners at the UPS Call Center in Las Vegas.  She gave me the mantra: " We are getting older and have limited energy, so we need to pick which battles are worth spending it on!"  Do I do it right every time? Not really, but I always go back to her words when I self-review to be better the next time.
