Four terrifically tumbling UCLA gymnasts are covering a magazine that's celebrating their skillset and viral fame. Chae Campbell, Nia Dennis, Margzetta Frazier, and Sekai Wright are covering ESSENCE Girls United’s April digital cover. In the cover story "Flipping the Culture", writer D’Shonda Brown talks to these collegiate superstars who are the embodiment of Black excellence and Black representation in athleticism as they soar to chart-topping scores with cultural playlists, rhythmic floor routines, and Black Lives Matter activism. If these ladies' names sound familiar it's because they've been burning up social media with their backflips and aerials.
There's something special about the gymnasts at UCLA. Margzetta Frazier is yet another University of California, Los Angeles gymnast going viral for a high-energy floor routine with a soundtrack paying homage to an icon. The Bruins baddie debuted her one-of-a-kind floor routine during UCLA's meet against BYU on February 10.
