  • Name a Paralympian who inspires you."When I think about an inspiring Paralympian, gold medalist, two-time bronze medalist, the one person I think about is April Holmes. I connected with her story and her journey because it was her tenacity. It was her ability to bring herself into speaking, into her foundation work, into every area of influence. She has been such an impactful person for me as a young Black woman entering into what some people call the limelight."
