Simone Biles recently visited Denver to be a guest speaker at Mile High United Way's fundraising Women United Luncheon. She spoke with Denver's CBS4 while in town to share about her experience.

United Way describes Women United as a "global, growing force of 70,000+ women dedicated to creating a world of opportunity -- for everyone." Biles gave an hopeful message to children in foster care, hoping to encourage and inspire them to "learn you can do anything you put your mind to."

It's where I come from and once foster care kids see you can do something. I hope they know that even though it's a tough time you can still make something out of yourself.

After being the guest speaker at the luncheon, Biles said she wants to do more and help foster kids in whatever way she can.

Biles has been training at her home gym World Champions Centre in Spring, Texas, for a month or so, but she has been primarily conditioning and getting back into "gymnastics shape." She said she will begin full-time training in November, but doesn't have a specific meet or goal in mind just yet.

Additionally, Biles will be starring in a biopic movie, "The Simone Biles Story," which she is executive producing with three others. The movie is set to premiere in early 2018 on Lifetime and will be based on her biography, "Courage to Soar."
