It’s always special to have an Olympian on the podcast.

When that Olympian is also a medallist, that makes things even better – and when they made history in the process… well, it doesn’t get any better than that.

But that’s exactly what Cindy Ngamba did at the Paris Olympics, when she became the first person from the Refugee Olympic team to ever win an Olympic medal, as she picked up bronze in the boxing in the middleweight division.

Cindy is also a multiple time British Amateur Champion, and has competed for the European Refugee Team as well – and by anyone’s measure, she has an extraordinary story to tell.

This is a conversation you just need to hear – it’s inspiring, it’s raw, it’s real, it’s genuine – with someone who is incredibly modest about what she’s achieved, yet in no doubt about how hard she worked to get there.

From coming out to winning bronze to being her authentic self, this is an episode you just can’t miss!
