Sha’Carri Richardson has said that it’s taken a village to get her to where she is today, a group that includes grandmother Betty Harp and her aunt Shay Richardson, whom she calls Mom.
The two are never far from the scene of the professional sprinter’s triumphs: After clinching her first Olympic berth in a dominating 100-meter performance in 2021, the Dallas native ran into the stands to embrace Harp, who was later seen wiping away tears.
