Empowerment: Turning Life’s Obstacles to Inspiration with Erika Otero

KickAss Radio welcomes Erika Otero, our December 2013 KickAss Woman of the Month, to talk about her struggles and triumphs in figure modeling. Listen in as she shares stories of her accident, back injuries, training and recovery with spinal herniations and struggles in figure modeling due to her young age.

Meet Erika Otero. She is Venezuelan but raised in Miami. Having been an athlete since her childhood days, she began competing in the NPC at the young age of 17 years old and continue to do so till today. Now at the age of 25 years old, she is preparing to do a warm up show on March 15th at “The CJ Classic” then continue her 2014 competition season with a National Level show in May and ultimately the NPC Jr Nationals in June and Team Universe in July. If she turns pro this year, she plans to continue her season till October to participate in her first Pro show.

Some of her highlights are having won the Southern States Figure division at the age of 20 and 23 (2010 and 2013).
