In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia sits down with Jen Sey—former national champion gymnast, Levi's brand president, and founder of XXII Athletics. Jen shares her powerful story of rising through the ranks of elite athletics, exposing abuse in the gymnastics world, and later walking away from a 23-year career at Levi's for refusing to stay silent about school closures during COVID.
From her 2008 memoir Chalked Up to her bold new venture supporting women in sports, Jen's journey is one of grit, grace, and unwavering courage. She talks about the cost of truth-telling, protecting kids from harmful ideologies, and what it means to stand firm in your values when the world pushes back.
This is a story of resilience, reinvention, and refusing to be silenced.
