Starr Andrews going for Olympic figure skating dreams

LA Times  

Toshawa Andrews wanted to give her second child a name that would fit the destiny she envisioned for her baby girl. “I’d push off the wall and it would happen and I’d be like, ‘Oh, I have to sit down until it goes away.’ I don’t have to worry about that anymore, so that’s really nice.” Starr Andrews competes at the U.S. figure skating championships Jan. 7 in Nashville. “I’m really happy that she’s coming to a happy place, I think, in skating because it’s definitely a journey that’s up and down and when you have those smaller victories, hey, you’ve got to give back praise.” Starr first made a splash when she was 9 and performed a precious routine to Willow Smith’s “Whip my Hair” at a recital. “Everything counts until you get into your car in the parking lot, that’s what Mabel taught us,” Babilonia said. To see this all coming to fruition all these years later, it’s amazing to see.” Starr Andrews performs at the ISU Four Continents figure skating championships Jan. 22 in Tallinn, Estonia.
