She did it. She really did the damn thing. This is just so cool. 😭
-first Hmong American to make it to the Olympics -first Asian woman to win the Olympic individual all around (of any nationality) -only the third nonwhite women’s Olympic all-around champion
She did it. @sunisalee_ just won 🥇 gold in the all around! I literally can’t stop crying! All the sacrifice a refugee family had to endure to put you on that podium and now the world has a chance to know who we are. So proud to be Hmong American today! 😭❤️💯🇺🇸#madebyrefugeespic.twitter.com/OhkmI1aiBF
