I hope Alaysha Johnson gets a sponsor 🙏🏿 She worked hard for it

[@socfits3490]

Congratulation ! And someone sponsor this woman ! Amazing testimony 🎉

[@ConsciousFBA]

It's crazy that she graduated from Oregon and is not sponsored by Nike at least. I'm not mad that she is repping a black designer though. I mean with the huge wealth disparity between whites and blacks being like 75% to barely 2% I'm happy to see black companies gain notoriety and gain a piece of the pie. I'm so happy for this beautiful unapologetic young sister.

For anyone wondering how difficult it is to survive in T&F unsponsored… EVERYTHING comes out of the pocket of the athlete. That means Track Meet entry fees, transportation to track meets (including flights), no free uniforms / gear, no help paying for a coach or training group, you’ll likely have to work another job or two while still trying to maintain peak shape(even some sponsored athletes have to do this as well)… all of this, AND THEN SOME! I understand some athletes not being good enough to be sponsored, but this girl just qualified for the Olympics and is tied for the THIRD FASTEST TIME IN THE WORLD THIS YEAR and in the top 12 IN HISTORY!!! There is absolutely no reason she isn’t sponsored by now… it’s sad.

Go go girl......💪💪🔥🔥

[@BlackCultur3]

Ayeeee!! Proud of u my dawg. 💪🏾

[@JohnW9012]

it's a damn shame she does not have a sponsor. Someone should have stepped up to sign her right after her race.

[@pmodel1]

Wow I thought she had finally been sponsored by someone. Definitely hope she gets it now

[@TheVivrantCatalog]

She’s not sponsored by Rhianna - Fenty.

[@marlisascott9667]

Yes girl 🩷

[@TheGreatness-gg1jx]

WHO IS TELLING THESE LADIES THEY COULDN'T GET A SPOT ON THIS TEAM????? I find it difficult to believe there are that many haters for women who are already running times like these. It's sad. Certainly there will be some losers and haters but the way she and Masai talk there are many haters. Really sad but it's good that they used it as fuel.

[@strikeforcetracktraining2253]

Masai put the camera down now she's doing some of best running We don't need to know her every MOVE

[@seensay2132]

Probably a bunch of jealous females who don’t like seeing them get attention.

[@StopGodIs]

yes stay off media and actual prefect your craft nobody be caring about y’all’s everyday lives

[@mikewigg5982]

Who is everybody? Nobody cares who goes as long as they win

[@socfits3490]

Critics & fans constantly talk down on these ladies I’ve seen it personally unfortunately

[@masivu9554]

You seem like a hater

[@strikeforcetracktraining2253]

STOP BEGGING......YOUR RUNNING WILL BE THE VICTORY

[@DaveGift85]

You need money to pay for equipment, training and competition

[@JohnW9012]

I have not heard her begging.

[@teesulli833]

Congratulations Alaysha!! Many more blessings are on the way.
