"With everything happening in the world, with everything that's happened in the last few years with the pandemic, having the opportunity to still pursue something that we love so much and to do it on the stage that we have worked to reach for so many years, we can't but help but be extremely grateful for the opportunity," said Timothy LeDuc. In Beijing, the pair finished eighth just days after Cain-Gribble injured her ankle. "If anything, I felt like having the injury and overcoming it in the short program and having that really joyous, awesome moment only added to the experience. And in a way, it sort of was a microcosm of our entire partnership, having some kind of adversity thrown at us and still having to overcome," said LeDuc. On their road to the Olympics, both skaters have become known for breaking barriers. LeDuc made history as the first openly non-binary athlete to compete in the winter games. By their side, Cain-Gribble has defied norms too. At 5'6," she's taller than most female pairs skaters, a fact that nearly forced her out of the sport years before. "For us, the one thing that we've always tried to do is be true to ourselves and authentic to who we are at our core and be those people out on the ice," said Cain-Gribble. "We know that there are people at home and in the arena watching and we just want to be able to be ourselves and say that everybody deserves to be in this space. Everybody and everybody. And yeah, we hope that we can be a beacon of hope for people just by being ourselves out there." NBC 5 DFW Page 2 of 2 March 4, 2022 In two weeks, LeDuc and Cain-Gribble will leave for the world championships in France where China won't compete and Russian athletes will be barred amid the crisis in Ukraine. "It changes a lot. Because as Timothy said, going into these world championships, we are the top-ranked team in the whole competition, and that's exciting. It's not something that scares us. I feel, at the end of the day, we just have to go out and skate, do the one thing that we know what to do the most" said Cain-Gribble. The world championships begin March 21 in the south of France. 3/8/22, 10:54 AM Howard University's Channing Hill,a Euless Trinity grad,wins NAACP award for activism Ea1laa Alornitt4 'etu$ Sign In ^: iii `,(.l,!IW' I`I „W,/ ° ' is rres1Ue11L D1ue111111puses D1ue1111eaus LU PULL VVUL'Lll VVINDt1 slat DI1LL11ey ban on Russia oil imports; to promote veterans,won't Griner is latest pawn on `decision is not without meet with parents of ex- Russia's chess board cost here at home' Marine jailed in Russia NEWS Howard University's Channing Hill, a Euless Trinity grad, wins NAACP award for activism Hill was one of the leaders of #BlackburnTakeover, a sit-in to protest conditions in the dorms. a 374 t — lam _ 4 -- Howard University junior Channing Hill led a 34-day student protest last fall over dorm conditions, The Euless Trinity graduate was recently recognized with the NAACP's "Youth Activist of the Year" award.

Hill, along with three other students, led #BlackburnTakeover, a 34-day sit-in protest involving more than too students at the historically Black university in Washington. The students who abandoned their dorm rooms and camped outside the Blackburn Center complained that Howard's dorms were unlivable, infested with rodents, prone to repeat flooding and in need of mold remediation. For her work organizing the protest, Hill was named the NAACP's "Youth Activist of the Year" and recognized during the 53rd Image Awards at the end of February. The graduate of Trinity High School in Euless said the protest was born of necessity. "Protests have a role and create change," said Hill, 20, a junior who is president of Howard's NAACP student chapter. "Protests serve as something that shine a light in the dark; but to keep that light on, you have to continue the work." Hill said the award is for all the Howard students who dared to do something about their on-campus living conditions. "It's our achievement, our sacrifice," she said. "The 34 days that we went and struggled, and for all of us who took a failing grade last semester." https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2022/03/01/howard-universitys-channing-hill-a-euless-trinity-grad-wins-naacp-award-for-activism/ 2/7 3/8/22,10:54 AM Howard University's Channing Hill,a Euless Trinity grad,wins NAACP award for activism ' he Pare Alortung Nett$ Sign In s ,, p� )0=g }gam" g$ 4; 7r00:71"7.,",;;;t1'1:11_7:: ,1 m'• y1r` '-�� ', ,-fe �� r.

Howard students protested with similar concerns in 2001 and then again in 2017. When Frederick agreed to meet with only campus leaders whom protesters claimed he hand-picked, Hill and her peers staged the sit-in from Oct. 12 to Nov. 14, the longest student protest in Howard's history. The sit-in was a rallying call heard across the country and around the world. Daily updates went viral on social media, and the movement sparked similar protests for quality housing at other historically Black colleges and universities across the nation. Meanwhile, civil rights leaders visited the campus. Politicians on Capitol Hill joined the conversation. Rapper Gucci Mane declined to perform during Howard's storied homecoming week, in solidarity with the protesting students. "Jesse Jackson came and went. Cory Booker came and went. Elizabeth Warren tweeted, and the news cycle came and went," Hill said. "Still, the school was stagnant." https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2022/03/01/howard-universitys-channing-hill-a-euless-trinity-g rad-wins-naacp-award-for-activism/ 4/7 3/8/22,10:54 AM Howard University's Channing Hill,a Euless Trinity grad,wins NAACP award for activism tie 1a1ta flornin4 Netu$ Sign In ..e.1.:,.._,.,-.414:20.-40.0. ,"4,., ,;;ZZIY::::, -iiir .- 4,, ,,,,.‘"il i,,,,,f,„' ',..

Still, Hill said housing problems continue at Howard. On the day she spoke with Texas Metro News, a media partner of The Dallas Morning News, she said a dorm flooded. "Did we get everything we wanted?Absolutely not. Are we satisfied with what we got? Absolutely not," she said. "Do we feel that students are safer in the immediate meantime?Yes." Her daughter's tenacity and courage to speak out on issues she feels are unfair doesn't surprise her, said Valerie Fields Hill, Channing's mother and a Texas Metro News editor. She said she remembers Channing finding her voice as a child, when she was often one of the few Black girls in her classroom and experienced bullying. "She became tired of having to explain herself," Fields Hill said. "She was tired of being called names." By high school, Fields Hill said her daughter had developed "a strong sense of advocacy." Channing Hill said that she gained strength and determination from her mother and that she hopes to have the same inner peace someday. "Even in really hard times, she has this unyielding faith that it will be okay," the Howard junior said. "I try to emulate that, but I have not mastered it." She credited her father with teaching her how to be confident. "My dad is the type of person that can talk to anybody.
