Olympic medalist | Motherr | Philanthropist | Entrepreneur | Supreme Twins Foundation Ambassador
YAIMA ORTIZ

I know what it means to fight for a dream. I lived it firsthand when I represented my country in the Olympic Games, and I live it every day as a mother. These two medals — the athletic one and the personal one — are my greatest achievements.
But my story didn’t end on the court. Today, I’m still competing, but in a different arena: the one where lives are changed. I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility to give back, especially to children with special needs. They don’t have filters. With them, everything is real — joy, pain, hope. I often wish I had a magic wand to heal them. Since I don’t, I find comfort in simply being there for them, supporting them however I can. And they, in turn, have changed me.
As an Ambassador of the Supreme Twins Foundation, I help lead projects that combine sports, inclusion, wellness, and education. I don’t do it for the spotlight — I do it because I know, through experience and through heart, that love, effort, and presence can transform lives.
I’m also a designer and an entrepreneur. I’ve created a purpose-driven brand that blends beauty, culture, and impact. Every day, I work with intention — to build a future that’s more humane, more just, and filled with real opportunities for those who need them most.
Because my story isn’t just mine — it’s a call to build, to unite, to transform.
And what I’m creating is so much bigger than me.
