🎙 1-to-1 With Waswa: From Judo Dreams to a New Creative Life

In this inspiring 1-to-1 session, Waswa sits down with the Legacy Bench team to share his powerful journey — from training as an aspiring Olympic Judo athlete to rebuilding his identity after life took a very different turn.

Waswa talks about:

• Losing his athletic dream due to health challenges
• Becoming one of the top performers in amateur competition
• Navigating identity as a mixed-race, homeschooled young man
• His transition into education, coaching, and psychology
• And now — discovering a new passion in dance

With fluency in six languages, eight years in education, and a deeply reflective way of seeing the world, Waswa brings warmth, humility, and emotional intelligence to the Bench.

He opens up about purpose, motivation, and what happens when life forces you to evolve faster than expected. His story is a reminder that growth is not linear — and that sometimes losing one dream creates space for a better one.

A powerful, grounding conversation for anyone seeking clarity, reinvention, or a fresh path.
