On this episode, I have the honor of hosting #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and America’s leading scholar on Anti-racism research, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
We dive in on topics ranging from how Dr. Kendi balances his health and well-being in the midst of becoming one of the most influential people in America, the accessibility of running and fitness in communities of color, and on how brands and running organizations can contribute to diversifying and growing the sport of running in communities of color.
The grand jury news of Breonna Taylor’s case broke just as our call was scheduled to start and so our time was cut short. We didn’t get to all of my questions or get a chance to expand upon his thoughts and ideas, but his responses about the importance of policy change and brands reassessing their standards are powerful and worth unpacking.
