Future Black History Month: Simone Biles' Fearless Ambition
Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. Today we are honoring Simone Biles, who is a stunning representation of sports culture in America.
The 19-year-old athlete has been competing in gymnastics championships since 2011, but she first won our hearts at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Biles was part of the Final Five women's team alongside Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman. This group of ladies were the confident face of Team USA and scored nine gold medals together.
