DESCRIPTION:3/15/2017 6:30-9:00 pm in Piedmont and also Sunday, 3/19/17, 3-4 pm in 
 Oakland at The New Parkway\n\nChamique Holdsclaw grew up playing 
 basketball.  She led her New York City high school team to four straight 
 state championships before she played for Pat Summit at the University of 
 Tennessee, where she led her team to 3 consecutive national championships 
 and became the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in the history of SEC 
 women, an all-American, and Naismith Player of the Century.  Holdsclaw was 
 the first pick in the 1999 WNBA draft, Rookie  of the Year and a WNBA 
 All-Star.  She's been called the "female Michael Jordan".\n\nAlongside this 
 extraordinary basketball career, Chamique Holdsclaw experienced depression, 
 and was ultimately diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.   "Mind/Game" 
 chronicles her history, her struggles and her decision not to just go 
 public with her condition, but to become a mental health advocate, so that 
 other young people might more easily reach out and find help.  Chamique's 
 journey may seem unique, but millions of American suffer from mental 
 illness, and many don't get the help they need.\n\nThe Diversity Film 
 committee chose this film to open a discussion about mental health in 
 highly competitive sports. William Rhoden, the sportswriter says in the 
 film,  "Mental health and athletics at the highest level are almost 
 antithetic, because mental health is about seeking help, being vulnerable, 
 talking openly about your issues, and success in competitive sports is 
 about not showing weakness, not showing vulnerability, and not asking for 
 help."\n\nThe Appreciating Diversity Film Series is sponsored by the 
 Piedmont Appreciating Diversity Committee, Piedmont Adult School, City of 
 Piedmont and Piedmont League of Women Voters.\n\nFor more info see

 no need to RSVP, first come first served, usually all are seated.\n
