God bless her, she is a legend, and a beautiful soul! This is a great interview! Love the questions and how Dominique answered them 💕 well said about Simone too. Being a good human and spreading love and strength to other humans above gold ALWAYS 🤘💕
Wow!! Dominique Dawes Is Simply Lookin Great, She's Definitely One Of The Greatest All Time Gymnast, Her Dad & I Were Very Close Friends, I Even Sang At His, New Wedding & Dominique Was There & Was So Nice To Me
You think sport’s built her confidence? Or maybe just her becoming an adult and growing up had something to do with it. I swear y’all just say anything.
She grew up NOT having a voice and found it when she became an ADULT and MOTHER! Bela and Marta didn't do anything for those girls psychologically. What they did do is make them into gymnastics robots that win! It was winning at all cost and the public bought into it until certain boundaries were BROKEN! I am waiting for Nadia and Teadora to finally speak their truths! I just so sick of these gymnasts living a lie! As for Dominique speaking up, I am glad you're doing it! I wish you and Dianne Durham would have spoken up two decades ago!
She was extremely shy, because of the abusive gymnastics culture. She talks about having a breakdown in the 1996 Olympics, always being nervous, having to wear Vaseline on her teeth to constantly smile. She is now trying to change that abusive culture. However, she challenged herself by majoring in “Communications” and now has decades of experience as a Motivational Speaker. In another words, her self-confidence comes from her education, career after the Olympics, motherhood and Faith. As stated in this interview, she is a mother and she will NOT be encouraging her daughters to be gymnast until this toxic culture changes.
She is sooo beautiful. And her gymnastics academy is great. Nothing but positive and happy attitudes is her focus. Awesome!
Dominique paved the way for young black gymnast. … good on you Dominique and you’re so beautiful.
She really did. Now, Simone mentors a lot of them.
Let's not forget Betty Okino as well.
Love love love Dominique Dawes!!
ALWAYS MY AWESOME DAWSOME!!!

Dominique was so shy as a gymnast, she seems so mature and self-assured today. Just go to show how sports can build self-confidence.
