Aliyah Boston , Indiana Fever power forward, posted a visual treat for her fans and followers through her latest Instagram post. On Tuesday, Boston put up a picture of a beautiful blue sky kissing a blue horizon, which in fact turns out to be her hometown, Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Boston was born in Saint Thomas and was educated in Massachusetts at Worcester Academy.

Boston has been making the best use of her time off by visiting her birthplace right before the hectic WNBA season kicks off in May. Like so many other WNBA players, Boston also played in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League for the Vinyl BC. Boston’s performance in the team was spectacular, and the team managed to make it to the finals, eventually losing to the Rose basketball club.

“Like wow this is home,” Aliyah Boston captioned her Instagram story, showing off the beauty of Saint Thomas.
