opened up to the publication about what inspired her to reveal her braids ahead of the 100m championship race last July.
“I’m not gonna change the confidence that I have in myself ever. But at the same time, I have learned there is a way that I can carry that so much more gracefully. That’s where that moment came from,” she told“I only could get to this point through experience and having the right people around me. I know that no matter what I do, no matter what decision I make, I know that it comes from me,” she added.
Key Rentz, the Orlando-based braider who did the athlete's hair for the meet, also shared: “I was like, ‘Oh no, she didn’t like her hair. Why does she still have the wig on?’ When I seen her rip it, I was like ‘Oh my god, yes ma'am, I know that’s right.’ I understood the symbolism when she did it. I understand where she was coming from.”
On working with Rentz, Richardson said: “Key gives me an energy that, even while she’s doing my hair, I can almost feel her genuineness going into my scalp.
