Why Fisk? "I chose Fisk to surround myself with a team of girls who look like me. Growing up, I was always the only black girl on my gymnastics team, and I wanted to be a part of something bigger than me. Making history by being on the first HBCU gymnastics team in the nation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
