Nicole James, a 1992 graduate of Grambling State University, has turned her passion for gymnastics into a business. She hopes to inspire young people to pursue a fun pastime and, perhaps, even a career.
“Back in 1987 when I was a freshman, there were very few girls of color in the sport of gymnastics,” she recalled. “It’s only been in recent years that the sport has produced upper-level gymnasts of color. It’s completely changing the face of the sport.”
James, who is from Thibodaux, earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communications/public relations at Grambling but gymnastics has always been in her blood.
