WHAT IS ONE THING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
Most people don’t know that my son and I share the name—Kevin—because we have a special connection. On August 23, 2020, I was able to deliver him at home with my wife. Although a home birth was not our plan, I cherish that special moment between the three of us and always will.
WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
I am most proud of being drafted to the NFL. After years of hard work and chasing a dream that would seem unrealistic to even the most optimistic person during that time, hearing my name called on that night is a feeling I cannot explain. I felt validated. Most importantly, it gives me a perfect example of how God works that I can share with others.
A QUOTE YOU LIVE BY:
“Success is never owned; it is rented and the rent is due every day.”
Lucie Silvas
43, MUSICIAN
HOMETOWN: KINGSTON UPON THAMES, SURREY, ENGLAND
WHO HAS HAD THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE?
There is definitely more than one person but maybe the greatest influence is my husband, John. No one has taught me the things he has as a human being. He makes me feel fearless.
WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
Moving my life across the ocean to another country and making a life for myself even though I felt terrified most of the time.
TELL US ABOUT A SKILL OR ACTIVITY THAT YOU’VE LEARNED:
I recently learned how to fly and land a Cessna 172 plane. I’m a beginner but very excited to be going for my pilot’s license. I’m obsessed!
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF BEAUTY?
Honesty with yourself. Giving yourself permission to be your truest self. Letting whatever is inside be honored. True beauty shines when you accept yourself, and that makes us truly capable of loving other people unconditionally. I feel most beautiful when I’m being honest and proud of who I am, no matter what I think the outside world will tell me. It makes me walk into a room confidently.

My father, Jerry Griffin. So much of my outlook
