In Center Ring – Episode 18: Samantha Panda: “I Hate Tradition.”

In Center Ring presents the electrifying Samantha Panda, the unapologetically daring adventurer. In this episode, Samantha Panda dazzles with the story of how she found her way to the big top, the global adventures that ensued, and how she got her moniker, “Panda.” She opens up about body shaming and sounds off about the burden of going viral – most notably for the injury that nearly ended her career and a harrowing encounter with the police that has deepened her commitment as an advocate for social justice and the autonomy of all women.
