When Loreal Sarkisian introduced herself, she proudly smiled, “I’m from Florida. Can you tell?” After we laughed, her accent shined through as we made our way into the dressing room at WFAA. She’s affectionately called the First Lady of Texas Football but, beyond that, she’s so much more. Growing up in Tallahassee, Florida, Sarkisian was a self-proclaimed tomboy. “I tell people, I’m feminine, not girly,” she shared while defining her own style as, “Structured chic. A little elevated.” A big departure from the woman who shaped so much of who she is, her mom. “This is a woman who, the only sneakers she wears are those she works out in. She doesn’t own sweatpants,” Sarkisian stated. That statement rings true, even today. Sarkisian grew up running track and playing softball, among other sports. “I’ve always been a part of the sports world,” she shared. “I know people probably only see me as a fashionista and in the fashion industry but, for forever I was an athlete.” Even then, she was studying fashion.
