A message from Grace:
“Hi 6S family! I’m very grateful to be chosen as the Athlete of the Month! In the spirit of the current social justice movement, I wanted to take this time to do some reading and learning about BIPOC athletes and share some links and videos about some inspirational individuals. I hope we can continue to keep this conversation going within our fitness community. If you’d like to reach out and say hi anytime you can find me on instagram @gracefinlayson “Grace has also shared why she chose these athletes and how they’ve inspired her. |
