For this episode, we had the honor of speaking with Danusia Francis. She’s an elite gymnast, previously representing Great Britain, now representing Jamaica, who in 2019 fulfilled her childhood dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games. She's also a former college gymnast at UCLA, where she became a 6x All-American and the 2016 National Co-champion on beams. We speak about the impact that being a college gymnast at UCLA has had on her as an athlete and as a person, but also about how she, after quitting gymnastics in 2016, found her way back to the gym and fought hard to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. She shares her keys to positive manifestation and visualization and explains how important it is to surround yourself with people who support you and respect your dreams. Danusia really wants to inspire the next generation of Jamaican gymnasts and hopes that by doing what she loves and going after her dreams, she will be part of inspiring future Jamaican Olympic medalists.
