This is so inspiring and EXACTLY what I needed to read right now, on multiple levels.

I’m so sorry that happened to you re: skating though. That’s so messed up to happen to anyone but especially to a kid, though having grown up in Ohio I’m not surprised, sadly. Do you have any sense for whether figure skating has improved with regards to diversity and implicit bias since then? I hope so.

I'm happy that you read it and it resonated! One thing I've really learned to lean in to over the years is pivoting when I need too. It can happen more often than people think.

I think there has been some improvement, I'm not nearly as involved in the space like I had once been though, so I'm not too sure.

Yeah it seems like the key is being confident that if you excelled in one area, you will again. Still hard to make the leap though!
