Naomi talks about her inspirations as a wrestler: “Because of what I look like and what I represent, the first things that were shown to me were Jazz and Jacqueline Moore. Before them, there really was a period of time where that representation was lacking. It wasn’t there. Those two came in and blew the ceiling off. They have become that pillar of Black excellence in the world of wrestling, they set the tone. To this day, I truly believe they are two of the greatest of all time, not just Black, but women wrestlers period. Fast forward, even later, I’m making my own history. We have women like Mercedes. Bianca Belair. We have Jade Cargill, we have Athena, and many more coming. It’s not just one here or there every couple of years, we’re seeing excellence from women across the board in the world of wrestling.”
