Simone Biles recently shared an inspiring story about her childhood dream of becoming a cowgirl, in light of celebrating Kortnee Solomon, a young trailblazer in the rodeo world. Solomon, at the age of 14, made history as the first Black cowgirl to compete on national television in 2021 at the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.
Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, expressed her excitement for Solomon's achievement during Women's History Month. She revealed that as a child, she aspired to be a cowgirl but was discouraged by someone who claimed there were no Black cowgirls. Despite this setback, Biles cheered on Solomon, emphasizing the significance of representation and celebrating Black girl magic.
