Whatever Flau'jae commits to, she excels at. Before basketball, she was the only girl on a boys baseball team and led them to two state championships. When basketball became the focus, she averaged 30 points a game, broke every scoring record at Sprayberry High School in Marietta, and had her jersey retired before she left. At fourteen she appeared on America's Got Talent and Simon Cowell told her she was a superstar. She chose LSU over every other program in the country in part because they were the only school that took her music seriously — on her first campus visit they took her to the studio. As a freshman she started every game and helped LSU win its first ever national championship. She signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation while still in college.

What she has built by her early twenties is something most people don't manage in a lifetime. She moves through the world like someone who has never once considered the possibility of a ceiling. She is nowhere near done.
