Julien Alfred details sacrifices she made to achieve Olympic glory including 'leaving her family behind'
Julien Alfred reflects on the sacrifices she made to achieve Olympic success in the 100m and 200m, overcoming doubts and imposter syndrome along the way.
As tourism ambassador, Alfred will be participating in promotional events for Saint Lucia in key markets around the world while also conducting media engagements and advertising initiatives to promote the island and its marketing campaigns.
She will also engage in social media campaigns to highlight tourism in St Lucia with a key feature of the promotional campaign being the use of the Saintt Lucia logo on her PUMA competition as well as warm-up kits.
"Right now, I don't know what means more to me – winning the Olympic Gold or just being the ambassador for Saint Lucia," Alfred said, as quoted by WIC News.
"Thank you all for your continued support, and Saint Lucia, I will continue to represent you no matter where I go, and I love you all.”
Alfred has been celebrated since returning home on Tuesday when she was welcomed by a convoy of 40 vehicles followed by two national school rallies, a visit to a school where a mural of her was unveiled before Friday, which was a national holiday already stamped “Julien Alfred Day”, that had a free concert.
