Sha'Carri Richardson revealed how struggling with self-expression made her rediscover herself
In an interview with ESSENCE magazine, Sha'Carri Richardson made her feelings known about struggling with self-expression while she faced the experience of earning fame and being a public figure. She said that with the level of fame she attained in the sport, she thought she had to lose her real self to maintain that. She revealed that she cannot appreciate others if she cannot be herself, and calling this feeling scary, 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,” Sha'Carri 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."
She added:
"But the unhappiness is what got me back to myself."
Sha'Carri Richardson is currently dating her fellow American sprinter, Christian Coleman, and they were spotted together at the 2024 USATF Night of Legends on December 7. Ever since then, the couple has been sharing constant updates with each other on social media.
