Ruby co-founded the New York Katz Women’s Team with one goal in mind: to empower women through the game of dominoes. What started as a few women gathering to play turned into a full-on movement — a space where women of all ages sharpen their cognitive skills, build sisterhood, and challenge stereotypes

Behind every strong movement is someone who believes in its power from the very beginning. Mr. Norman McPherson, co-founder of the New York Katz Women’s Team, is one of those visionaries. A passionate player and respected figure in the dominoes community, Norman recognized not only the brilliance of women at the table — but the need for a space where their strategy, strength, and voices could shine.
It was Norman who first encouraged Ruby “Redz” Walcott to start an all-women’s team, knowing that her leadership and love for the game could ignite something greater.
