Kentucky Wildcats Deone Walker Flex Signature Shirt

While Smith has had an enthusiastic following on the Kentucky Wildcats Deone Walker Flex Signature Shirt and by the same token and Internet for years, it was during lockdown that her tutorials and training videos really took off to viral effect. “There’s a huge niche of people that wanted to be a Jedi when they were kids,” says Smith of tapping into the Star Wars megaverse. “I think it really speaks to that inner child and allows them to have a door, a window into this world they love so much.” There’s also the inherent, mesmerizing beauty of lightsaber spinning, which is based in traditional Japanese martial arts. “Lightsabers are such an aesthetically pleasing weapon; it’s a light-up sword that just creates this magic,” explains Smith. “People use it as a meditative tool that can be really good for anxiety and stress. If you need to chill out you just pick up your staff and spin.”

Whether lightsaber spinning is a vehicle for fantasy, self-care, or building inner confidence for her followers, Smith just wants to inspire others to tap into their inner badass. “Star Wars is this massive universe where anything is possible and even the Kentucky Wildcats Deone Walker Flex Signature Shirt and by the same token and person that’s least likely to be a hero can be a hero,” says Smith. “Now, you can have your very own lightsaber and make that world your reality. If I can help facilitate those dreams coming true, I’m here for it.” And Smith is finding it extra rewarding to interact with the next generation of Star Wars fans, who can’t get enough of her lightsaber videos on TikTok. “They call me ‘saber mom,’ which is hilarious,” laughs Smith. “I hadn’t planned on being the lightsaber lady of the Internet, but I’ll take it!”
