At the Olympic Track and Field Trials on June 30, 100-meter hurdler Alaysha Johnson qualified to represent Team USA — while wearing an outfit by a Black designer. Johnson exclaimed “and I did it with a Black designer on my chest” in a post race interview where she emotionally asserted her commitment to paving the way for others like her.
While Johnson had approached HMN ALNS prior to the trials about wearing one of his designs, Mims had told the hurdler that the brand, which keeps a small inventory, did not have anything in stock. Mims said he believes that she purchased the outfit herself — a black bodysuit with shorts, and a half bikini, half-high neck top. Mims himself was surprised to see Johnson in his design at the trials.
