It was just sixteen years ago when Dominique Dawes was in the same “leotard” as Gabby
Douglas. A young, African- American teen, going for the gold in the Olympics in a sport where black women were not prevalent.
After yesterday’s win in the Olympic All-Around, Douglas became the first black Olympic gymnast to win All-Around Gold. And just the second black gymnast to win gold ever, after legendary Dominique Dawes.
We are so proud of them both!

Dominique also called in to the Red Velvet Cake Studio with Roland Martin. Listen to the audio here
