Another member of the Sanders family is carving her own path! Despite having the famous last name of “Sanders”, Shelomi strives to build her legacy in a completely different arena to differentiate herself from her NFL brothers, siblings Shedeur and Shilo. After flourishing as a top hooper at Rockwall-Heath High in Texas, the Colorado Buffaloes’ coach Deion‘s daughter has now become one of the key basketball players at Alabama A&M.
During her first games for the Bulldogs, she left many stunned by recording 14 points in 10 minutes. Undoubtedly, she polished her basketball skills under the mentorship of her football coach dad, Deion Sanders, at Jackson State. Despite establishing her name as a distinguished basketball player, the Browns QB’s sister is now involved in initiatives that support good causes.
Recently, Shelomi Sanders delighted her fans with her latest big announcement on Instagram. With the aim of bringing real change to underserved rural areas, basketball player Shelomi has partnered with The Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice (Creejorg). She showcased her exhilaration at collaborating with the nonprofit organization, which prioritizes environmental justice, especially in rural areas. Proud Shelomi dropped a short video clip to explain the noble cause behind becoming a partner with Creejorg.
“Rooted in purpose. Powered by change. Proud to stand with @creejorg,” her post caption reads. It also includes a green heart emoji, showing her appreciation for the foundation whose primary goal is to make sure that everyone has access to clean water and adequate sanitary facilities. Creejorg also emphasizes the negative effects of deteriorating infrastructure on the health and well-being of locals.
“Hey guys, so I just wanted to come on here and talk to y’all about something. So, it’s known that so many communities in the U.S. are still living without basic needs, like clean water or even proper sewer systems. That’s why I’m proud to be partnering with CREEJ, the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice,” she said in the video.
Besides this, Shedeur Sanders’ sister also highlighted the charity foundation’s real focus, their work, advocacy, and awareness to address environmental issues. “Not only are they fighting for justice, but they are bringing real change to underserved rural areas. So I stand with CREEJ and their mission to make clean and safe living conditions a right and not a privilege. Thank you,” Shelomi added further.
With her latest collaboration, it is quite clear that she is now devoted to advocating for clean water, sanitation in rural communities. She will emphasize the need for justice and equitable solutions with her collaborative organization.
Deion Sanders’ daughter Shelomi’s dedication to a noble cause has not shown up for the first time; she has been actively advocating for those living with Type 1 diabetes, particularly young women. By sharing her personal experiences and struggles in a podcast, she brings awareness to this disease. In an interview with Beyond Type 1, she revealed her ongoing struggles. “Still learning… It never stops,” she stated.
And, now, her latest partnership showcased her determination for her work in the rural communities that came after she notched the major award at Alabama.
