Olympic breadancer Sunny Choi has shared a deeply personal journey of self-discovery, highlighting the transformative power of community and self-acceptance. In an exclusive interview with Dazed magazine, Choi discussed her experiences navigating feelings of isolation early in life and how they ultimately led to finding a profound sense of belonging through artistic expression and connection.
A History of Feeling Out of Place
Choi recounted a childhood marked by a persistent feeling of not quite fitting in. "From never feeling like I fit in anywhere," she stated, “I’ve learned the importance of community and that we dont always have to do everything alone.” This sentiment reflects a shift in perspective born from recognizing the need for support and shared experience. The pressures of competitive dance environments could be particularly isolating, fostering an internal struggle for validation.
The Healing Power of Breaking
Breaking, a dynamic and visually stunning form of martial arts combined with dance, became a crucial outlet for Choi. "Breaking helped me find a place where not only do I feel valued but also feel like I can contribute in a meaningful way." The art form’s focus on precision, movement, and self-expression provided a framework for understanding and embracing her own identity. The intensity of the discipline also fostered resilience and a belief in one's capabilities.
A Message of Self-Worth
Choi concluded her interview with a powerful message of affirmation: “I hope you read the following words with pride I am worthy I am enough and I deserve to be loved.” This declaration underscores the core theme of her journey – a transition from self-doubt to unwavering self-acceptance.
