I’ve been a big fan of this woman’s talent for years, but the person behind the voice is even more incredible.
Lightning fans know of Sonya Bryson’s incredible voice. Most know her military background as a retired Air Force Sergeant. But not all realize she battles Multiple Sclerosis. When you see her belt out the national anthem, she’s strong and invincible. In this chat, we talk about the struggles she faces daily… even when she’s on the ice singing for thousands at Amalie Arena. She also talks about a big walk coming up in Tampa this April. It’s your chance to get a great photo with Sonya and raise money to fight MS at Al Lopez Park at 8am on April 4, 2020. If you can’t make the walk, you can also support her by making an online donation to her USF team.
Plus, most importantly, the ladies on my Twitter asked that I get the scoop – where does Sonya get that glittery Lightning blue lipstick? She sort of gives an answer!
