A few days earlier, Richardson received a heartwarming gesture from a little fan on social media. The fan, apparently a third-grade student, was dressed up as the athlete while celebrating Black History Month. The little girl wore a tracksuit just like Richardson and introduced herself by highlighting all the stellar achievements of the Olympian.

Sha'Carri Richardson shared the clip of the girl on her Instagram story and got emotional with the gesture as she wrote in the caption:

"She said my name right too🫶🏻🥹 Tears because there's no better feeling than this right here."

Sha'Carri Richardson recently sat for an interview with Essence magazine, where she spoke about the adversities she faced with self-expression. The Olympian revealed having moments when she felt she was not being herself to have a career or portray an image others wished to see. Opening up about how that might have affected her, she said:

“Coming into this level of fame—I definitely had moments where I felt as if I would have to sacrifice who I am, in order to have a career, in order to be what the world had basically deemed me to be,” Richardson said."And those moments were scary, because I’m like, If I can’t be me, I can’t even give you all what you respect and love me for. I wasn’t happy when I wasn’t being myself."

"But the unhappiness is what got me back to myself," she added.

Sha'Carri Richardson won a silver medal in the 100m dash at the Paris Olympics and a gold medal in the 4x100m relay race. She is currently training with the Star Athletics under her coach Dennis Mitchell.
