She is the 2018 United States Indoor 4th-place finisher in the shot put.[17][7] Ealey shared how she dealt with mental challenges of competing on the global stage at 2019 World Championship and how she is recovering from COVID-19 in Winter 2021.[18][19] Ealey conducted clinics for high school and youth athletes in 2019.[20]
