Bonnie St. John became the first African-American ever to win medals in Winter Olympic competition, taking home a silver and two bronze medals at the 1984 Winter Paralympics in Innsbruck, Austria.

tlIn recognition of this historic achievement, Bonnie was quoted on millions of Starbucks coffee cups and was honored with her portrait in the Main Hall of Trinity College at Oxford as a distinguished alumna.

Bonnie is also the winner of the 2017 John Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award, and in this interview she talks about the shift she made to seeing herself as a leader, and how that empowered her to start several community initiatives.
