Amanda and Lwazi shared life on ice with the mom expressing her pride for her son:

“He started skating when he was five years old. It was love at first ice, I remember, he got on the rink and immediately started running instead of gliding! He would fall, get right back up, and keep going. Lwazi is 11 years old now.

“I’ve suggested figure skating to him before, but it’s not something he’s interested in. He’s more interested in helping other kids learn how to skate and just loves being part of the fun at the rink.”

Lwazi shared his love for the ice:

“I think it would be really cool to help little kids learn how to skate! I like seeing people get better and have fun. I like trying stuff! When I see someone do a cool trick, I watch them and then try it myself. Sometimes I watch YouTube videos too, and practice until I kinda get it right! The moonwalk was something I tried randomly one day while I was skating backwards, and it just worked. I've been doing it ever since!

“I haven’t had any injuries, but I fall a lot, it’s just part of skating! When I’m skating, I think about how fast I can go, what new tricks I can try, and sometimes I just like chatting with the big skaters and learning from them.”
