Paralympic Gold Medalist Brenna Huckaby Just Provided the Confidence Boost We All Need
We always can rely on professional snowboarder Brenna Huckaby for a dose of inspiration. The three-time Paralympic gold medalist’s advice in a Instagram post from Thursday is a perfect mantra for confidence.
In the video clip, Huckaby stood in front of a mirror in a navy blue bikini.
“Every time I go in public, people stare at me and I pretend it’s because I’m beautiful and gorgeous, not because I have one leg,” she said.
After being diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called osteosarcoma at age 14, Huckaby’s right leg was amputated. She then developed a love of snowboarding as a form of post-surgery rehabilitation.
“So this is the confidence boost you need: when people stare at you for wearing your thing, doing your thing, remember it’s because you have a big ’ol booty and you a cutie,” she continued. “Go get it girl!”
Tons of Huckaby’s 118,000 followers chimed in to the comments section to hype up the mom of two.
“Every time you wear my swim I eeeek of joy . Ily,” 2023 SI Swimsuit model Camille Kostek wrote.
Huckaby is wearing the Julia Crinkle Underwire Bikini Set ($43.60) from Kostek’s Swimsuits for All collection.
“You are 🔥,” surfer and one-time SI Swimsuit model Alana Blanchard applauded.
“Love you so much!” a fan added. “You’re such an inspiration 💛🤩.”
