Paralympic 2024 - Brittni Joi Mason

[Music] growing up I never thought of it as a disability I could either stop or continue to push through and keep going I decided that I want to be the best I have to be the best I want to prove myself and then I got there and I broke the world record in the 100 meter dash so I started running at h10 I loved athletes like Shel andne Frasier price she would always have her nails done her hair was all fun colors and she was just super girly and Glitz and Glam and oh love the uniforms that was probably the selling point honestly for me I was born with herbs pausy which limits my range of motion and my left shoulder and arm but my parents never allowed me to use that as an excuse as to why I couldn't achieve my goals which is why I continue to push through the pains that I would go through it takes honestly about 6 hours out of my day every single day just to do the basics you know making sure that you're stretching properly you're cooling down properly you're in the wait room feeling whole means to me that I am just overall happy I'm strong in my faith I have good company around myself and that I'm just really enjoying life and I have this phrase where I say say look good feel good run good because when I look the part you feel the part and then you just run well the fact that we're able to inspire other athletes with disability is something that I don't take lightly [Music]
