Nia Dennis, a viral gymnastics sensation, is known for her inspiring performances and dedication to showcasing Black excellence. Her 2021 Met Gala debut, complete with a dynamic entrance accompanied by the Brooklyn United marching band, highlighted her seamless transition from gymnastics to red carpet glamour. As a member of the U.S. National Team (2012-2016) and a leading gymnast at UCLA, Nia's culturally rich routines have captivated audiences, earning millions of views and praise from high-profile figures like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Nia's journey reflects her resilience and commitment to her dreams.

We asked Nia for her wise words for anyone who is starting fresh, and she shared her philosophy of being compassionate to yourself and why it's so important to be kind to yourself before anything else.
