Carter now coaches the Texas University women’s 1st team basketball team. But at the beginning of the month, the young woman caused a shitstorm on the internet. The reason: official photos from her university went viral. Triggered by: Sydney Carter’s outfit during her team’s game.
In the pictures, Carter is wearing squeaky pink faux leather pants by Fashion Nova, a white turtleneck sweater and high heels.
Pink because she wants to draw attention to breast cancer prevention with the color and the bow on her sweater and of course because the color matches her team’s shoes. But too much for many users on the Internet.
Many felt that the trainer’s tight outfit and heels were inappropriate.
But Carter also got a lot of encouragement. Even rapper Nicki Minaj responded to her post. Carter thanked Instagram for the support.
In interviews, she said, “I just think people feel uncomfortable when a black woman is in a position of power.” She said, “when you see a black woman who’s actually confident and hugging herself, I think that this is very intimidating for some”.
