Hottest Summer Bods 2021 Pt. 2

Hey there people. We hope your summer is filled with beautiful sunshine and that it isn't too hot out there for your tastes. The first Hottest Summer Bods, 2021 issue dropped a few days back and we are excited to continue this series which began last year in the midst of an awful global pandemic. This year we are stepping into a new direction but still celebrating some of the most amazing women alive. This series will mostly include athletes but a rapper, model, actress or someone from another profession will be inserted from time to time. Enjoy!

Aliyah Llanusa

Central Oklahoma's Aliyah Llanusa finds her way back into our series once more. On her Instagram, she says, "I am the daughter of a king who lives life, with the desire to love people the way her father does."

Another great quote on her page is "People quit on people all the time. You gotta make sure you never quit on yourself."

On the basketball court she didn't give up on herself as she closed the season out with strong shooting. While shooting 42.9 percent for the whole year, Llanusa made 11 of her final 17 shots, 64.7 percent in her final seven games. She made the most out her 13 minutes in a game against Missouri Western where she made all three of her shots scoring six points and collected a season best three steals.

The 20-year-old guard led Choctaw High School to an Oklahoma state title during her high school days.

Along with being a basketball star, Llanusa also has a fitness page, @getbuilt.liyah, which is a fitness guide, showcases creative workouts, helps you transform your body and encourages followers to eat more healthy.
