Three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings recounted how she "had a little exercise in being brave," describing a recent shopping trip she made in which she didn't wear a face mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Walsh Jennings wrote on Instagram that guidelines advising or mandating the usage of face masks equated to an erosion of one's liberty to an extent:
"This statement woke me up & the truth of it has had me obsessing on the matter of how I can mindfully & compassionately stand up for my rights & for the freedoms our constitution has granted us all WITHOUT being reckless or putting anyone else in danger.
