What is ‘normal’ for Shelomi Sanders?

On August 19, 2024, Shelomi Sanders and Amiah Simmons went LIVE with DETAIL Training. There, the host asked Shelomi what is normal for her, growing up in the Sanders household, but the reply could leave you shocked as she mentioned, “I don’t know how to answer that I will just be chilling, I’m humble, I’m just I’ll be cool.” All in all, she wants everyone to know that she isn’t “Hollywood” like a lot of people might assume. Looks like growing up in the limelight didn’t stop her from being grounded. Along with that, when the question was asked regarding the meaning of her jersey no., she said “I’m vibing with then I was like okay 22 is cool “.

Shelomi and Pillar remain the unstoppable duo

When asked about the food at Alabama, she simply replied “First of all, mom has been cooking, so food has been good”. She goes on to add that she loves home-cooked meals and is eating good. After all, who can forget that Pillar was the one who supported Shelomi through her transfer when Deion publically dissed her? 

Pillar showed her love for Shelomi and her decision on Instagram back when she broke the news saying, “Yeeaaasssss! Keep backing them down, baby!” And now it seems like she’s fitting right in at Alabama, even her mentor Ebi Ere is content with her progress. For now, we just have to wait and see till the season rolls around and hope for the best!
