I know that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have paved the way and they have been a source of inspiration.

I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.

There are moments that aren't great. And I think it's amazing for people to be able to have some insight, to be able to see the support system and what really happens.

I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.

For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability.

I think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.
