A nine-year-old girl asked Steph Curry why his shoes aren’t available in girls’ sizes and his response was surprising.

Nine-year-old Riley Morrison from Napa, California is a huge basketball fan. She roots for the Golden State Warriors and her favorite player is three-time NBA champion Steph Curry.

 

 

Morrison loves to play basketball so she went online to pick up a pair of Curry’s Under Armour Curry 5 shoes, but there weren’t any available in the girls’ section of the site.

But instead of resigning herself to the fact she wouldn’t be able to drive the lane in a sweet pair of Curry 5’s, she wrote a letter to the man himself.

Her father posted it to Instagram.

My name is Riley (just like your daughter),

I’m 9 years old from Napa, California. I am a big fan of yours. I enjoy going to Warriors games with my dad. I asked my dad to buy me the new Curry 5’s because I’m starting a new basketball season. My dad and I visited the Under Armour website and were disappointed to see that there were no Curry 5’s for sale under the girls section. However, they did have them for sale under the boy’s section, even to customize. I know you support girl athletes because you have two daughters and you host an all girls basketball camp. I hope you can work with Under Armour to change this because girls want to rock the Curry 5’s too.

I wanted to write the letter because it seems unfair that the shoes are only in the boys’ section and not in the girls’ section,” Riley told Teen Vogue. “I wanted to help make things equal for all girls, because girls play basketball, too.”

The letter got to Curry and he gave an amazing response on Twitter.

I appreciate your concern and have spent the last 2 days talking to Under Armour about how we can fix the issue. Unfortunately, we have labeled smaller sizes as “boys” on the website. We are correcting this NOW! I want to make sure you can wear my kicks proudly — so I am going to send you a pair of Curry 5’s now AND you’ll be one of the first kids to get the Curry 6. Lastly, we have something special in the works for International Women’s Day on March 8, and I want you to celebrate with me! More to come on that, but plan to be in Oakland that night! All the Best!

Last August, Curry wrote an empowering letter that was published in The Player’s Tribune where he discussed closing the gender pay gap, hosting his first all-girls basketball camp, and what he’s learned from raising two daughters.

In the essay he shared a powerful lesson his mother taught him. “Always stay listening to women to always stay believing in women, and — when it comes to anyone’s expectations for women — to always stay challenging the idea of what’s right,” he wrote.

Curry clearly practices what he preaches because when a nine-year-old girl spoke up, he was all ears.

🚨 GLOBAL BOYCOTT ERUPTS: Countries around the world are now REFUSING to work with the US under Trump’s leadership! 🌍💥🇺🇸 In a stunning global revolt, nations across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America are openly rejecting US products, deals, and diplomacy—a global boycott unlike anything ever seen in the country’s history. Sources say the backlash began quietly… and then exploded. One by one, countries withdrew from negotiations, canceled contracts, and redirected billions of dollars in trade to Canada, Europe, and Asia—leaving Washington baffled and trying to grasp the scale of the meltdown. Diplomats reveal that Trump’s aggressive tariff war, political threats, and unpredictable leadership have triggered a historic diplomatic freeze, with several governments declaring they will “wait” until the end of his presidency before cooperating. American companies are now panicking as global markets shut down, with some industries reporting their biggest international losses in decades. Meanwhile, rivals like Canada and the European Union are stepping in to fill the void—and the profits. 👉 You won’t believe which major powers joined the boycott first—click to find out which countries are shaking up Washington…⤵️

Wake up, Jeff.” — Governor Gavin Newsom abruptly announced that he would remove all of his media content and partnerships from Amazon, denouncing the relationship between Jeff Bezos and Don@ld T.r.u.m.p. The statement quickly became an ultimatum that stunned both Bezos and the public. “You Trump supporters, you support division and hate. I cannot be a part of that,” Newsom declared in an official post on his personal page. Bezos, taken aback by this uncompromising decision, had no time to react — he could only remain silent in shock. Soon after, Donald Trump fired back fiercely on Truth Social, calling Newsom “an arrogant, attention-seeking politician.” But Gavin Newsom was undeterred. He responded with eight short, cold, and powerful words — words that silenced Trump, and sent social media into a frenzy of support. 💬 Comments went viral on X (old Twitter): “This is the first time anyone has spoken directly to Bezos and Trump like this.” “Newsom just turned Bezos’ silence into a moral judgment.” Meanwhile, political observers said it was a “bold but symbolic move” that marked a deep divide between politics and Big Tech. An editor at The Atlantic wrote: “Newsom understands that this is about more than just business — it’s about the soul of America.” At the same time, a wave of #BoycottAmazon calls spread on social media, with hundreds of thousands of people retweeting Newsom’s remarks, with the message: “If he can stand up, so can we.” While many saw it as a political gamble, there’s no denying one thing: Gavin Newsom has created a seismic shift in the relationship between political power and tech power. And by nightfall, his short tweet had been shared millions of times — a reminder that in today’s noisy world, sometimes just eight words can change everything……⤵️

BREAKING NEWS: Gavin Newsom just delivered a thunderous message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people frozen in their seats — and then he backed it up with action… At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan — a room overflowing with billionaires, couture gowns, champagne towers, and egos big enough to cast shadows — Gavin Newsom stepped onto the stage to accept a prestigious Leadership Impact Award. Everyone expected a polished, diplomatic speech. Everyone expected safe applause lines. Everyone expected politics-as-usual. Instead, they got a shockwave. Rather than thanking corporate donors, praising elite partnerships, or reading a carefully massaged PR script, Newsom looked directly at a room filled with some of the wealthiest people on Earth — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed with wealth, use it to bless others. No one should build palaces while children have no homes. If you have more than you need, it isn’t truly yours — it belongs to those in need” The room went dead silent. Eyewitnesses said Zuckerberg and other tech magnates sat completely still — frozen, unsmiling, hands motionless above their napkins. No applause. No polite nods. Just the quiet shock of people hearing a truth sharper than any speechwriter would dare deliver. Of course they didn’t clap. Truth makes the comfortable uneasy. Because Gavin Newsom wasn’t speaking about envy — he was speaking about moral responsibility. A responsibility too many in that room preferred not to acknowledge. But he didn’t stop at words. What Gavin Newsom did next left many shocked and stunned…READ MORE BELOW👇👇👇
