Notes

MY FIRST PAIR OF GYM SHORTS WHEN I STARTED BOXING. THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY THAT HELPED ME BUILD MY MENTAL & PHYSICAL STRENGTH. A COMMUNITY BOXING GYM THAT HAS ACCEPTED & SUPPORTED ME IN MY GROWTH, FOR WHO I AM. MY OWN DEFIANCE IN THE FACE OF THOSE WHO DON'T WANT US IN SPORTS. COURAGE IN TRYING TO MAKE SPACE FOR OTHER TRANS ATHLETES BY TAKING UP SPACE MYSELF, LOUDLY.
