“What you have does not define what you can become.” This Sunday, American sprinter Noah Lyles took home the gold in the thrilling Olympic 100-meter men’s race! But just as significant as Lyles’ victory, was the message he shared on social media after the race — the obstacles an individual faces does not define them. Similarly, our participants aren’t defined by Down syndrome. It’s a PART of who they are, but not ALL of who they are. Down syndrome does not put a ceiling on what they can accomplish!

In @the.sofia.sanchez’s inspiring talk, she shares her powerful story of bravery and love: “Being brave means taking a leap of faith and facing your fears. I was born in a small town in Ukraine and was left alone in an orphanage. My birth parents abandoned me because of the way I looked—they were afraid. But my adopted parents were brave. They chose me. They jumped across the world to bring me home to my forever family. They took a chance on me. I got a mom, a dad, and three big brothers to love me.” 🌟 Bravery isn’t just about facing your own fears; it’s about taking a leap of faith for others. What act of bravery has changed your life? Share your story below!
THEN & NOW….10 years ago at 5 years old I went to our local high school cheer camp and had dreams of being a cheerleader. Fast forward to today and now I’m one of the camp counselors at the high school for prospective young cheerleaders! #fullcircle #cheercamp #cheerleader #flyer #dreamscometrue
Throwback with my big brother Diego! OG Swifty fans! Also….is it time to bring the signature BOB back? #carpoolkaraoke

We were honored and so grateful to have @lunasteeples and @the.sofia.sanchez as guests on our 2024 Dear Mom Conference panel! These two Hunger Games stars shared all about what it was like filming and working together on set. Their talent and stage presence was so amazing to see in person, we did our best not to fan-girl too hard 😅💛 We love you and the friendship you two have cultivated, Luna and Sofia! We can’t wait to see what’s next for you in Hollywood!

Giving back to my community! I’m volunteering at our local GiGi’s Playhouse to put into action all the amazing things I’m learning in my child development classes at Whitney High School! This is the “LMNOP” Class for little ones with Down syndrome. How cool to be able to give back to the organization that has supported me and my family so much!
Living their best life! #girlsjustwannahavefun #phoenix
Been working on my KRUMP! #hiphop #dancelife #krumping
