Simone Biles on highlighting the inequities faced by black women gymnasts through her docuseries

Through an interview on April 23, 2025, via Netflix, Simone Biles shared her thoughts on the challenges faced by black women in the sport through her docuseries.

“Those women were the greats that allowed us to do what we’re doing to this day. But I have to tip my hat to our director, Katie, who thought this was a really important piece. When kids watch this, they’re going to want to hear from people who look like them and see people who look like them.”

She continued:

“To mesh both worlds together — the Black community and the gymnastics community — was important so that kids can see, Simone’s not the only one, look how many came before her.”
