Katelyn Ohashi's perfect 10 has provided perfect platform

Katelyn Ohashi usually leaves people in awe, what with her flipping, flying, bobbing, bouncing, splitting, smiling floor routine.

But the UCLA gymnast has been the one in awe since that routine went viral.

She’s been congratulated by Jesse Jackson, Gabrielle Union and Kamala Harris. She’s been on Good Morning America and in the New York Times. She’s been imitated by Stephen Colbert.

(Well, sort of. A middle-aged late-night host can only do so much.)

Best of all, she's been able to use the fame from the floor to bring attention to an issue important to her.
