During her interview with Vogue in July 2024, Richardson shared her thoughts on the challenges and successes that came her way throughout her journey. She mentioned,

“Every time I step onto the track, I think of all those moments when I was younger—all those feelings are still with me, I’m just that little girl grown up. It’s almost like a flashback journey, everything that brought me to that point. All the grind, all the sacrifice. And there’s a feeling of, this moment is special because all of that, the good, the bad, it’s brought me here. And I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”

In 2023, at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Richardson clinched the national title in the 100m.
