What can I say??? I am a BAWSI person with a racewalking habit!! If you're not familiar with BAWSI, it stands for Bay Area Women's Sports Inititive, and we are a non-profit organization that serves as a platform for strong, female athletes to gain exposure of their sport through community service and outreach. These athletes serve as role models and coaches to underserved girls and women in the bay area through afterschool programs and community events. I serve as the Program Director for the South Bay, but I am also the coordinator for one of our programs, Salud por Vida, helping Latina women get physically fit and educated about nutrition. Through our programs, I'm witnessing hundreds of young girls and their moms develop their confidence and self esteem as they become fitter, stronger, healthier, and making positive choices in their lives! I love my job and I love being BAWSI!!!
Oh, and about the racewalking...I happen to be training to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing in the 20km racewalk. Check out up-to-date results on the USA Track & Field website at www.usatf.org!
