The abuse exposed in the sport of gymnastics was a catalyst for creating the Dominique Dawes Academy-a gymnastics and ninja academy focused on providing a compassionate and empathetic environment. As someone who has experienced many forms of abuse in this sport firsthand, I believe deeply that we must do better for our children. I encourage you to read this important Reuters article. While progress has been made, we cannot become complacent. It is our responsibility as adults to speak up, take action, and protect our most vulnerable—our children. Their safety and well-being must ALWAYS come first. Let’s not just talk about change. Let’s be the change our children deserve. This has always been one of my favorite quotes: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke reuters.com/sports/nassar-ju…
