ZaKiyah Johnson opens up about her future

ZaKiyah Johnson spoke to journalist Mason Horodyski and talked about her future and aspirations in a video uploaded by Horodyski on X on Dec. 11. Johnson said that she wanted to be the greatest to come out of Kentucky:

"I want to be the greatest to come out of Kentucky. I want to go to the league, I want all the little girls to grow up and say, I want to be like ZaKiyah," Johnson told Mason Horodyski.
