Quotes by Dominique Dawes

“She said believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. I took away those words and will keep them in my memory for a lifetime.”

“I found through research that between 50 and 70 percent of young girls who describe themselves as overweight are actually of normal weight.”

“Thats a problem, when a young girl is looking in the mirror shes seeing a distorted image. Thats because of this narrow definition of beauty thats portrayed daily, constantly, on television. She is not seeing the beauty and the strength that we may see.”

I realized I love motivating and I love empowering and I love inspiring people. I did that as an athlete for 18 years, and I am able to do that as a motivational speaker now as well as doing work on television.
