I truly believe that I could have gone either way in that moment, like I could have been like you know what, I'm going to go out and I'm just going to forget about all of this pain.
What does it take to turn the pain of bullying into a source of strength? In this episode of 'Rebuilding The Beast', former NBA player Festus Ezeli sits down with Alicia Jay, the powerhouse behind TallSWAG. With her remarkable 6'6" height and infectious energy, Alicia shares her journey from being bullied in high school to finding self-acceptance through basketball and faith. Alicia opens up about her childhood struggles, including dealing with her father's alcoholism and the harsh realities of racism.
Despite these challenges, she learned to embrace her height and use it as a beacon of empowerment. Her faith played a crucial role in this transformation, helping her navigate through the toughest times. Festus and Alicia bond over their shared love for basketball and their faith in God, diving into deep conversations about mental health and personal growth. Alicia also discusses the heart-wrenching loss of her brother in an accident and how she copes with the pain.
She talks candidly about waiting for 'Mr. Right' and the importance of standing tall in every aspect of life. Alicia's creation of TallSWAG, a platform dedicated to inspiring tall women, is a testament to her resilience and drive to uplift others. Whether you're tall or not, her story is a powerful reminder that we all have the strength to overcome adversity and find our true selves. Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, faith, and a lot of heart.
