Rapper and LSU Women Basketball Star
In a world where many feel pressured to choose between their passions, Flau’jae Johnson is a shining example that you don’t have to. As both a talented rapper and a fantastic basketball player, Flau’jae is breaking barriers and redefining what it means to excel in multiple realms of success. I admire Flau’jae for what she does. I don’t look at too many celebrities or stars as inspirational figures, but Flau’jae is different! She reminds me of the culture of limitless possibilities and no limitations that I am a part of under my grandfather, Dr. Oscar J. Nelson Dowdell-Underwood, the Father of Possibleology and Possibility Education Awareness. My grandfather, whether teaching in the pulpit of his church or in the academic classrooms of the school he founded, has always taught that GOD places seeds of possibilities in us; therefore, we are never at the mercy of limitations. Also known as the Law of Possibility, founded on Mark 9:23, all things are possible to him who believes. Therefore, GOD has made us totally possible in Him.
Flaujae’s journey is not just about using her GOD-given personal possibleness to create her personal success but also using her gifts to uplift and inspire others, especially young African American girls, to pursue their dreams without fear of limitations.
Flau’jae’s talents are undeniable. On the basketball court, she is a force to be reckoned with, combining athleticism, strategy, and a competitive spirit that has earned her recognition at the highest levels.

Off the court, she transforms into a lyrical powerhouse, using her music to express her thoughts, share her experiences, and inspire her listeners.

Still, Flau’jae does it with grace, proving that with hard work and determination, nothing is impossible for the one who believes.
When she’s not shooting hoops, laying down tracks, or hosting her podcast, Flau’jae is dedicated to encouraging the next generation by giving back through her different events or mentoring little kids on the court. She understands the importance of representation and is committed to showing young girls, particularly African American girls, that they can break through the barriers that society often places in their way.
