Two-time Olympic gold medalist and water polo superstar Ashleigh Johnson joins Laughter Permitted to talk about how she was introduced to the sport of water polo, how she remains the only Black woman to compete for the U.S. in water polo at the Olympic level and how she hopes to be an example of what’s possible in the sport and beyond. She also shares her perspective of the U.S. women’s water polo team finishing fourth at the 2024 Paris Games and how she’s embracing saying, “Yes,” to new opportunities post-Olympics (which includes Fashion Week in New York City, hanging with Taylor Swift at the VMAs and more!). Plus, Ashleigh, who is considered the best goalkeeper in the world, dives into how her main goal is to simply “get the ball,” which propels her to limits even she can’t imagine.
