Don't take no for an answer. Stay focused, perfect your craft, move with intention,

create opportunities for yourself and others, be of service, and above all else, have fun. I have found beauty in knowing that I am supposed to be in every room I walk in, and I refuse to dim my light or make myself smaller for the comfort of others." —Storm Reid, Actress, Producer, Future Filmmaker

I have been told I am too young. Too young to be great,

too young to win, too young to speak up, too young to make a difference. Whenever somebody doubts me it makes me work harder to prove them wrong.” —Coco Gauff, Professional Tennis Athlete

I have defined success on my own terms.

I hope other athletes, other women, see what I accomplish on and off the track and aspire to be the best version of themselves by going after what they want-no matter what anyone else thinks.” – Gabby Thomas, Professional American Track and Field Athlete
