My first name during my first match was 'Lena.' I was still Lena then, just because we hadn't gotten a name yet.
When I was a young girl playing basketball, WNBA was a dream.
I considered wrestling at a young age, but I never could relate to any of the Divas. I have always been a bigger girl, and I did not think that WWE would want a girl my size, so I never expressed my dream to wrestle.
Your uniqueness is what makes you special, and that is beautiful.
Our bodies are always going to change, and we might not always love that, but it really has nothing to do with true beauty. True beauty comes from within.
Don't get me wrong: there have been many occasions where I wished I could be thinner or have a different nose or hairline to fit in, but I realized that fitting in is not always as important as it seems; I realized that I love standing out in positive ways!
