Lessons in Resilience from a Paralympic Medalist

September 5, 2021

More than 30 years ago, Bonnie St. John became the first African American to medal at the Paralympics. The then-19-year-old Alpine skier brought home a silver and two bronze medals. Since, she’s graduated Harvard, earned a Rhodes Scholarship, became a Fortune 500 executive, and advised the White House. Correspondent Julia Sun sat down with St. John to talk about sports, determination and resilience.
