The LSU star made an Instagram post about her experiences on Tuesday, Feb. 18, which Just Women’s Sports later shared.
“Too Dark. Too Tomboyish. Not Feminine Enough. Pretty For A Dark-skin girl ,Not Focused. Too Skinny. No Sex Appeal. Be A Rapper. Just Hoop. I CAN Only Be Me.
“Just Cause I Carry it well Doesn’t Mean It Ain’t Heavy.. What I’m doing has never been done before and I’m shattering expectations by pursuing multiple passions, and I won’t be held back by doubts or comparisons. If I don’t excel in one area, it doesn’t diminish my abilities in another,” some of the post says.
