Happy new president & vice president day!! 🎉 I

Happy new president & vice president day!! 🎉 I paddleboarded to the Statue of Liberty yesterday! It was my first time & I wasn’t sure I could do it, but the group was so supportive — & usually right around the statue, the current tends to be choppy & strong, but it’s as if Mother Nature knew the election results & the weather ended up being more than perfect — so calm & beautiful. Then while we were out on the water, they called the election. Then this strange & beautiful thing happened where there were suddenly many schools of fish, hundreds of them — & they were leaping out & back into the water as if they were jumping for joy. It’s as if they were happy too! #TheUniverseKnows — & the symbolism of being at the statue of liberty when all of that happened made me so emotional. Still feeling kinda blubbery & emotional today, but so happy 🤗

Massive hat tip to Noelle @Resilience_Paddle_Sports & fellow paddlers for being so lovely & supportive.

Congratulations to @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris & all of the voters, community organizers & grassroots orgs that made the win possible!
I speak as a woman of color in a male-dominated industry with parents that are immigrants; the journey wasn’t/isn’t an easy one & the road ahead is sure to be full of challenges, but I believe in you/us & the impact we can make. #WeCanDoItAmerica #Election2020 #BidenHarris2020

#VotingIsATeamSport ✅ The policies that have been pushed through by the Supreme Court the last few days & the hot mess of the last few years is just a foreshadowing of what could come. I am truly concerned about our future. It'll be all about the swing states this election, so if you have friends in FL, PA, OH, MI, NC, AZ, WI or IA who are on the fence, urge them to vote in person if possible, & to amplify outreach in those areas.
Does everyone have a voting plan?? Voting roadmap:

#BoatLife in Croatia with friends last week was delicious. I miss being on the water already. Croatia’s beautiful topography & brilliantly clear blue-turquoise water still calls to me.

Happy to share the joys of aerial fitness with @MindLeaps kids in Rwanda.
Been thinking a lot about how aerial play can be used as social practice / in vulnerable communities. There’s an inescapable joy in the playfulness of aerial. Why not share it wherever you can? #AerialEverywhere #ShareTheJoy
