Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku set the American record for the 100m just months after getting her first running blade (and still holds the record!) Now, eight years later, Femita is again defying the odds and competing at the Paralympic Trials 6 months after giving birth to her daughter. Today we dive into to:

  • Her running story
  • Training as a new mom with an infant
  • The no-nonsense mindset that helps her show up on tough days
  • Hopes for Trials and beyond
  • Family's influence and importance in her life on and off the track
