Donna Williams Salib Aka “sis”
I am a happily married Coptic Orthodox Christian!
IFBB pro women’s bodybuilder
Live in USA
I began my journey in the fitness in 2006. As a single mother I knew it would take time, patience and Gods grace. I fought eating disorders as a teen and young adolescent. I wanted to be someone the youth could look up to and be inspired by. I wanted to influence the world and show it, despite the obstacles put in our way, that faith and hard work will result in achieving goals. I remember lifting concrete filled coffee cans with rebar that my dad had made and thinking one day I would be in the magazines like Lenda Murray and Rachel McLish. I started In figure in 2007 , to advanced to women’s bodybuilding in 2008. i won Kentucky muscle overall champ to go on to 2009 northern natural to win overall taking me to team universe and the national Stage experience with a less than favorable placing. I came home regrouped, changed coaches, and went back to work. 2012 I went to win overall in Indiana but knew I wasn’t ready for the national stage, and in 2015 my dream had been extinguished as the Ms Olympia no longer existed. I focused on strength training and competitive powerlifting to earn my Pro/elite status In the sport in 2013. I loved being able to compete with strong amazing women and challenge myself daily. I continued training diligently and was happy to hear that WOS was supporting women’s bodybuilding and bringing our division from the ashes . I was thrilled to know we had a platform to show case our artwork and share our love of the sport ! In 2017 I entered Kentucky state open, the only show in Kentucky to support women’s bodybuilding thanks to Gene Goode. This time I was using my husband as my coach and we won the overall title, that landed me at the North Americans three weeks later to earn my pro card with Ifbb.
I had the opportunity to meet the amazing team at WINGS OF STRENGTH at my pro debut at the 2018 Chicago Pro and I am so grateful for all they do for the athletes.
I served as a firefighter and paramedic up until 2010 and I have enjoyed being a personal trainer and strength coach since 2008. I currently serve as the event coordinator of Active Heroes Inc community center for our veterans. As a marines daughter, Air Force sister, and army mom, I am proud to work close with our veterans and military preventing suicides. ! I also stand at my husbands side as his valet in professional wrestling at OVW and enjoy the balance we have supporting one another’s dreams and ambitions. We make an awesome tag team there, and in anything we set out to do.
I love my huge family and my amazing husband , who have been so supportive on my journey. Gods blessings in my life are unmeasurable! The sky is the limit and love knows no boundaries!! Here is to an amazing future and making extraordinary memories!!
