WHAT DOES PROTECT THIS HOUSE MEAN TO YOU?
BYRON PERKINS, HE/HIM/HIS
Hampton University Football
"Protect this house means protect yourself. It got to a point where I was willing to lose it all if it meant having some piece of mind. I realized that I couldn't continue to play the game that I love so much and then say that I love football when I'm not loving myself the same way."
SHYANNE SELLERS, SHE/HER/HERS
University of Maryland Basketball
"I feel like protecting this house, to me, it means protecting my peace and protecting who I am. Obviously, I play basketball but that's not just who I am. I express myself in a lot of different ways on the court. If you've seen me play I show a lot of emotions. I wear my heart on my sleeve and that's always been my thing."
REGAN KIELMEYER, SHE/HER/HERS
Loyola University Maryland Lacrosse
"Protect this house means protect this light, project your soul. Whatever that light is, whatever that house is, everyone has to be equally bought into protecting this flame and in every tribe I have in my life, my family, my team, my friends we buy into it. You can't stray too far away from that or else you start to lose pieces of yourself."
