“Being on the cover of a Wheaties box is one of those things you grow up dreaming about,” Wilson said of her new partnership. “For me, this is about showing every little girl what's possible when you dream big. I'm proud of the work, proud of the journey and proud to partner with a brand that celebrates champions who keep pushing the game forward.”
