This young lady is so amazing! They took her father but he left behind someone so precious and bright just look at what she has done with so much more to come. Look out world for Flau!!

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

Yep, praying for her being in the industry.

[@neezzaneezza2580]

Why are ppl so mean? This girl didn't get the opportunity to meet her father none of you knew him or what her mother went through. I hope these mean ass ppl don't ever go through the pain this family has suffered. I'm happy for how she turned out. Her life could have been different. She's an inspiration to others and I love her story and I respect her mom for making the decision to give her that name. When I heard her name I was like "ok nice" but then the reason behind it was touching. I know how much her name means to her. You are truly blessed love. Your dad fulfilled his purpose and that was to create you. You will shine!

[@alostbard]

I'm old enough to remember when college was an institution of higher learning where you went to prepare for a career. Now college IS the career... if you play sports. Not blaming the player, just blaming the game.

[@MRSOFFICER2012]

College is still an institute of higher learning, you sound crazy, . What are you talking about smh!

[@jonathanyoung9369]

Sour grapes for what?? What are you losing in the deal?

[@nyasiaisthename]

So it’s okay for the college to profit off the kids but as soon as kids are able to get what they EARN, it’s a problem? NEXT!

[@braves5696]

I mean the average kid can go to college and do whatever they want to make money but athletes are restricted? You must be crazy

[@moniqueafscme9240]

Thank you Flaujae! Eph 3:20
