Camila Pirelli Cubas(Paraguay): Honoring Her Heritage

Camila Pirelli goes by Cami, Pirelli, or Pantera Guaraní, the Guaraní Panther; Guarani is the language, and culture of the community of people Camila belongs to, and for Camila, it’s important to honor where she comes from. Today, we spotlight Paraguayan track and field star, Pantera, who holds more than a dozen gold and silver medals nationally. Her expertise is Heptathlon, a 7-event competition including the 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200-meter run, long jump, javelin, and 800-meter run. All that to say, she’s the real deal…and in 7 events! In our conversation she shares about her upbringing in Paraguay, mental health and body image.
