Tamyra Mensah-Stock recently became the first Black woman to win a gold medal in wrestling for the United States.

The Katy native will be celebrating a very specific way, too, by buying her mom a food truck.

She told ABC13, "I wanted to give my mom $30,000 to get a food truck. It's her dream. I told her five years ago, 'I'll get you your food truck, but you gotta be responsible.' She's like 'Thank you, baby'...so my mom's getting her food truck! She can cook, really really well."

And of course, her mother's food truck will be serving BBQ!
