BY A HAIR’S BREADTH

The most impactful moment of my life was not when, in 2014, I very narrowly missed the final spot for the Olympic team…

DEEP CONNECTION

…it was right after that, when I visited my father’s village in Africa: there, I saw how people found fulfillment in the deep connection with nature, with one another and, above all, with themselves.

SPACE OF TRUTH

I began approaching skating from a space of truth, and I noticed that I was reaching many different groups of people who all resonated with my skating and with my message.

SHARING THE CRAFT

The more that I see the impact that my skating has on people, the more I'm dedicated to continuing sharing my craft. I want to make sure that everyone feels welcome.

TRUE FREEDOM

When you operate from a space of truth, love and authenticity, you transcend your self-limiting beliefs, and find true freedom.
