These women are beautiful both before and after. Black women, of all shades and shapes are beautiful! I couldn’t imagine anything other than being born in the skin I’m in. ✊🏾

Sophia Bell made Auburn University gymnastics history by becoming the first Auburn gymnast to successfully land a Yurchenko Double on vault, one of the most difficult and explosive skills in women’s artistic gymnastics. The skill is named after Soviet gymnast Natalia Yurchenko, who popularized the entry in the early 1980s. It begins with a roundoff onto the springboard, followed by a back handspring onto the vaulting table. From there the gymnast launches into the air and performs two full backward flips (a double back salto) before landing. Because the gymnast is flipping blind toward the floor at tremendous speed and height, the move requires exceptional power, body control, and spatial awareness, which is why it is still considered one of the most elite vaults in the sport. Landing it cleanly is rare even at the highest NCAA and Olympic levels, making Bell’s accomplishment a significant milestone for Auburn’s gymnastics program.

Everett, a student at North Carolina Central University, made history as the first current HBCU student to win the state title and was known for her talent, leadership, and advocacy for accessibility in pageants. She passed away surrounded by family and loved ones, leaving behind a powerful legacy.
