To mark the second anniversary of our collective work, Resilient Georgia is hosting Olympian Kenny Selmon, a decorated American track and field champion, and Chrishaunda Lee Perez, storyteller, for a virtual celebration Oct. 28, 2021 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
After injury halted Selmon's dreams in 2019, and the Covid-19 pandemic delayed them even further in 2020, Selmon remained focused on his goal to qualify for the 2020 Olympics Games (2021). In June, after three grueling rounds and a personal best in the final, he qualified for the 2021 U.S. Olympic team in the 400m hurdles. The former UNC track star traveled to the Tokyo Olympics last month. Kenny Selmon’s inspiring story resonates because he overcame tremendous obstacles and adverse experiences during his rise to competing as an Olympic athlete. His story exemplifies the power of resilience and perseverance.
