Dear Superhero’ is a story about fear, strength, and discovering the superpowers of motherhood. Featuring team athlete Janina Kuzma.

Janina Kuzma The North Face Skier

When The North Face skier Janina Kuzma becomes pregnant, she must grow into her new identity as a mother. Wrestling with the fear of losing her job as a pregnant mountain guide or being judged as a professional athlete, Janina still finds peace in the mountains. Joined by The North Face snowboarder Leanne Pelosi and professional skier Evelina Nilsson, Janina ventures deep into New Zealand’s Southern Alps to discover the superhuman powers of motherhood.
