This piece by Christopher is unfortunately very accurate.

I’ve noticed a recurring theme: if you’re not an American athlete achieving these historic times, it can’t be considered genuine.

When Keni Harrison clocked 12.20 seconds and initially broke the 28-year-old record in 2016, she was praised. Keni was clearly capable of running that fast then, so how is it that Tobi wouldn’t be capable of running 0.08 seconds faster six years later with favourable conditions and advancements in technology, tracks, and shoes?

I could go on and on. I’m not suggesting for one second that any athlete should be questioned if they happen to set a world record; I’m merely linking it to my point that if you’re American, you’re less likely to be scrutinised or questioned by the media when setting a record or personal best, especially in comparison to an African athlete.

Tobi Amusan deserves an apology. In fact, she deserves more than that. We need coverage that is unbiased and fair to all athletes, regardless of nationality. There are a few notable individuals who try their absolute best to create space for everyone in the sport—you know who you are 💙

My newest prayer is simple: “Lord, settle it.” Settle my mind. Settle my heart. Settle my spirit. Teach me to walk in peace instead of anxiety, and faith instead of fear. 🤍

I see exactly why Jesus often withdrew regularly. People will literally drain you if you let them.

I’ve been quiet… not absent.

I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.

God gave me more than I prayed for

My world. My responsibility. My legacy.

Alhamdulilah! ✨

a weekend will come around to remind you that you are young and hot so you need to be outside having fun but in the same breath, remind you that you are also severely under rested so you need to stay inside. it’s a tug of war.

one thing i’ve discovered about adulting is that, you can easily run mad.

Life is so funny. You can literally have the worst week of your life & then a few days later, life becomes so beautiful again/you feel happier than ever. Remember this when you're going through a rough patch.

your worst and best moments happening concurrently, both demanding your attention and care is something i will never get used to.

When it comes to human relationships, extending grace is a must. If not it’ll be broken relationship after broken relationship and you’ll just be filled with anger and resentment. Let (the small) things go.
