The pursuit of the “perfect 10” truly has Nothing to do with perfection. Its a voyage of pursing EXCELLENCE in every moment. Chasing Excellence is a journey of digging out roots of fear, comparison so freedomand self worth can be planted in soils of the heart. 👏🏻👏🏻 @mia_takekawa

I don’t tweet ever but haven’t caught this skill since 2019 NCAA Regionals. This skill took me forever to perfect. It was the one skill I always needed to do (like could not skip days of practice or I would lose the skill). Here’s me today 2 1/2 years later🤘

I think my fav part of watching the @IlliniWGym meet today was chatting with @rachaeldonovann the entire time 🥰 #proudalum

Let’s normalize not needing to know what people are going through in order to be kind and compassionate.

I’ve been off of twitter for the last 5 years, but I’m back to do my part by listening, learning, and expressing that I stand with BIPOC and the BLM revolution. White silence is violence.

To all of the peaceful protestors, I see you.
To all of the good cops out there, I see you.
To the victims of these riots, I see you.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.

breaks my heart to see people not practicing social distancing / staying in quarantine when people’s love ones are sick. Mine included. Please put others before yourself during this time. Stay safe y’all❤️
