Fierce & focused! Β· My path is set and I'm ready to walk into my destiny! Who's ready to see me in that @teamusa uni at Tokyo 2020ne OLY?? πΊπΈππΎββοΈ
With less than 100 days to go until the 2020ne Summer Olympic Games... πI THINK IT'S TIME TO START IT UPπ€© #SpecialShoutout to @maryland.tfxc for giving me to resources to get ready!! Ultra blessed to be back at my alma mater!! β€οΈππ’ even moreso at the opportunity to give back to young athletes just like me!
Coach Aminaβs athletes: βCoach Amina what is like being a professional athlete?β Coach Amina: βNow Understand track and field ainβt no cash cow, but I love what I do. This would have to hold true for you too!β ------------------------------------- Often when my athletes ask me this question, I have to add a joking undertone to soften the blow to this long-standing realty. Within the world of Track and field; being a black female high jumper already puts me even further behind the eight ball. Iβm not afraid to speak on it--Letβs face it--There is NO parity in how professional, men and women, earn a living within their sport/specialty. The love for your sport and wanting to turn your athletic talent into a careerβneither of those options should be a sacrifice. I am blessed to have the opportunity and the platform to spread the importance of this issue. I am excited to be a part of the push for real change with @paritynow !! *** β οΈπ§ To sign up and find out more about what Parity is doing!!

Iβm thankful to my support team who constantly pours knowledge and teaching into my career. We are on our way! - - I am blessed to have the love, the support, the grace over my life in order to have days like these! ^^^^ - - Thank you to all the positive and encouraging words.

GETTING TO KNOW π¬π© || Mr. Victor carried us (the athletes) to and from the track for this whole weekend!

The cocoa trees are grown locally in Saint Georgeβs Parish!! β’ β’ β’ Once we reach the hotel he hands me a bar of chocolate, he purchased for himself earlier at the chocolate festival and biscuits!
