On this Thursday of Natasha Cloud Week, we will look at Cloud’s activities off the court. While she was a strong player on it, she became just as, if not even more strong off of it.

In June 2019, there were two shootings where stray bullets hit Hendley Elementary School in Ward 8 of Washington, D.C., including one when students were inside. Hendley is in the same ward as the Entertainment and Sports Arena, where the Mystics moved to just earlier that season.

Cloud was upset by the incidents after she visited the school for an event on June 13 and posted videos on Instagram, which we put together on X, then known as Twitter.
