'I was embarrassed to show my face' - American sprint legend Allyson Felix reveals the sorrow of missing gold in 2008
Allyson Felix has revealed the emotional turmoil of winning silver in the 2008 Olympics, feeling devastated and letting others down.
Richardson revealed that watching other black women from other sports has also taught her lessons about embracing her flaws and learning to go about her business despite people always having something to say and admitting that she thrives on that.
“I feel like pushing the envelope continues to show that being your authentic self is all that you need. I feel like my coach always makes sure that we stay grounded in that. Being yourself is all that you need so showing your hair, nails, makeup and your style is all that you need,” Sha’Carri Richardson said in an interview with Blavity TV.
“I feel like even seeing other women that you can feel in other sports you’ll be like, ‘I don’t care about what other people say about my hair, my outfit’ because at the end of the day, you are still going to watch and you are going to respect it and you have no choice.
