Great job to Anna Shi for representing Texas Taekwondo at Miss UT Asia Cultural Pageant!

Not only did Anna showcase her kicking skills, she voiced her ideals on embracing both Asian and American cultures in a diverse cultural melting pot. While remembering her roots, Anna creatively represented herself as a strong, passionate Asian-American woman breaking the stereotype of timidity and submissiveness. Way to go!

Outside of kicking practice, they have been running sprints, bleachers, and tires to turn on that speed. The big dance is getting closer..

Hope to see yall there!
