You may have recently heard of Team USA's Anastasia Pagonis after she won gold in the women's S11 400m freestyle swim at the Tokyo Paralympics, but she actually has a huge following on TikTok. On Pagonis's TikTok profile it says, "changing the way u see visually impaired."

Social media has been an outlet for Pagonis to support her mental health, and a way to connect and inspire people. Ahead are some of our favourite TikToks.
