HERSTORY
I’m Jaiya Devi Daniels: Elite Track and Field Student Athlete, Artist, Mental Health Advocate, and Documentarian.
Every day my WHY has grown clearer. I'm no longer on a mission to be New Mexico's best Track and Field high school athlete. Over the past 3 years, I've proven the champion and competitor I am.
Today, I'm committed to climbing and conquering a new [and more challenging] mountain, believing this climb will lead me to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
My experiences on and off the track have helped me grow and fully understand who I am and what's really required to achieve my dreams.
It's not about the accolades, it's about the work. It's the journey to the dream.
Watching. Waiting. WORKING.
Thanks for traveling with me.
