In this weeks episode of The Roe Show, I talk with fellow Canadian Sydney Brown who is an acrobat turned social media star who became known as a member of Royal Caribbean's tumbling team. She has over 2.2 million fans on TikTok and is also popular on Instagram. We discuss how she came to work for a cruise line, what life is like as a performer living on the road and what is the lifestyle of a travelling and touring performer. If that sounds like the ultimate dream job, it is. Or at least, it is according to Sydney Brown. And she would know -- it has been her life for the past six years.
The 25-year-old Canadian has worked for Royal Caribbean as an acrobat and performer since 2011 and has spent the better part of the past year working in "The Fine Line" on The Harmony of the Seas, traveling throughout Europe and the Caribbean. Growing up in Greensville, Ontario, just outside of Toronto, Canada, Sydney was a talented and dedicated gymnast. She started in the sport when she was at just a year-and-a-half old, and showed promise at an early age. She began competing and winning regional meets at age 8. But after an ACL, MCL and meniscus injury at age 14 she left artistic gymnastics and focused on power tumbling, a sport that was easier on her knees because of the softer floor. It was a natural transition for her and she began competing almost immediately on the international stage for Canada. In 2009, she placed fourth at the World Age Group Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia -- just months after re-tearing her MCL and meniscus -- and she won the 17-plus age group at the Pan American Championships in 2010.

This is Gavin Newsom
I’m Gavin Newsom. And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us. It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other. I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation. THIS is Gavin Newsom.
