Recently, when Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce became the only woman to win a World Championships title after becoming a mother, many came forward to applaud her courage.
Recently, Shelly-Ann became a 2-time Olympic and a 4-time World Championships winner at 100 meters event.
And what made her win so special was the moment when her 2-year-old son Zyon joined her on the field, making it one of the most historic images of our times.
And in another interview given to CNN, she said:
“My secret is just staying humble and just know who you are as a person and athlete and just continue to work hard. It’s a wonderful feeling having my son witnessing this.”
Realizing how great her achievement was, many people took to social media to celebrate her determination and strength.
