Mini

Queens, New York

I started running as a way to reconnect with myself, and it slowly became a space for healing, strength, and clarity. Running reminds me that progress comes from showing up, even when it's uncomfortable or quiet. I don't run to escape I run toward who I'm becoming.

I believe movement is a tool for healing, visibility, and becoming. My mission is to create space for women of all backgrounds to be seen, supported, and celebrated in sport and community. Every mile is about unity, resilience, and moving forward together

Why The Speed Project

I'm excited because this is a completely new experience for me—I've never run outside of New York, let alone from LA to Vegas. Getting to see the world beyond NYC on foot feels surreal and deeply meaningful. I'm excited to be part of this team because it's made up of incredible women from so many different backgrounds, all moving with one shared purpose. Being surrounded by their strength, dedication, and support inspires me to push further than I ever thought I could. Together, we're not just running miles—we're building community, unity, and something bigger than ourselves.

Building Community

I started running at a time when I felt like I had very little support and was figuring things out on my own. Through running, I found friendships, community, and people who showed up for me in ways I never expected. What began as a solitary act became a reminder that I don't have to move through life alone
