My Favorite Books to Read Are Peoples’ Stories
Lashinda Demus is an Olympic silver medalist, world champion, and American record holder in the 400-meter hurdles. An ambassador for Athletes Soul, which provides wellness support to retired athletes, Demus is also working with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to make athletic competition clean. Before joining a Zócalo/ASU Foundation streamed event titled “Can We Build a Better Summer Olympics?” she called into the virtual green room to talk about her love of dance, learning to bike at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and her admiration for Wilma Rudolph.
