The Women behind the Warriors

Mary Babers-Green

We’ve all scrolled through Twitter and then read a hilariously honest tweet. That was most likely Mary Babers-Green, giving her thoughts in the only way that the Green family knows how. She does it truthfully, letting the facts do the talking for her.

But she’ll defend her son, Draymond, as long as she can, warding off Twitter trolls left and right. It’s a sign of their close relationship. Mary and Draymond are a package, supporting and looking out for each other at all times.

Babers-Green doesn’t let herself be silenced, an issue that women face. She doesn’t back down from anyone, doing everything from taking on strangers trying to agitate her to calling out Coach Kerr! It was a tough summer for her son who found himself caught up in a few incidents, but she handled it extremely well.

But it’s not all about just having fun with her. She understands that there is work to be done. That manifested itself in her pushing Draymond to become the man and the player he is. That manifests itself in her using her voice to stand up for certain causes.

She worked with her son in order to promote the NBA’s “Lean In” initiative. Recently, she took to Twitter to talk about abuse. She encouraged survivors of any kind of abuse to speak out and look for support.

Mary Babers-Green is an example of a strong woman who’s not afraid of expressing herself.
