Flau’jae Johnson reflects on the joy of impacting the next generation

For LSU basketball star Flau’jae Johnson, the impact she has had on young fans goes beyond the court. The talented guard shared her thoughts on Thursday on her podcast, “Best of Both Worlds.” She spoke on what it means to inspire so many kids, a role she embraces with pride and gratitude.
