In Tony Deida’s latest Instagram post, he shares the post with Jeannie herself, in her new look. In the caption of the post, he wrote something with incredibly deep insight. He sheds light on the fact that no warrior is simply born. They are all the results of their own improvements. Thus, they are not created, but they are developed by themselves. He stated,?“Warriors are not born and they are not made. Warriors create themselves through trial and error, pain and suffering, and their ability to conquer their own faults…Cancer SUCKS, But We are Coming Out Swingin?!”
