I missed being considered an athlete and having that competitive drive, and missed having something to work for every day. I'd taken two and a half years away from the sport and was out of shape. I wanted to get back to where I was in 2008. ↗

I told myself after 2008 that I was done for good. But they say you can't keep a gymnast away from her sport. ↗

I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well. ↗

I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal, Richard Roundtree, Jim Brown, Pam Grier. For the first time, I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.' ↗
