Episode 10: Decolonizing Sports with Roc of Rooted Resistance
<p>*This episode was recorded in February of 2022, unfortunately part 1 of this chat didn't save but I still felt it was worthy of sharing.<br/> <br/>In this episode I chat with Roc (founder of <a href='https://www.instagram.com/rootedresistance/?hl=en'>Rooted Resistance</a>) as they unpack the history of sport under a white masculinist, destructive and commodifying lens. Roc speaks towards unsettling sport (using the work broadly) with how histories of land, power, identity, and colonialism interact with the earth (water, trees, soil, the air, etc.) as well as how the subjugated body interacts with structural oppression, power and privilege in sport and recreational spaces. Roc believes through understanding these histories 'the body’ can be used as a site of liberation and embodied collective healing through physical activity.</p>

Episode 8: Meet My Girlfriend Crystal
Trigger Warning: Discussion of Weight LossIn this episode I share the mic with my romantic partner Crystal Richardson, Esq. Crystal is an attorney, community advocate and my personal fitness coach. Right now she is currently working to get the CROWN Act passed in North Carolina, which is a bill that would ban discrimination based on hair textures and styles. The CROWN Act names styles commonly associated with black people, is of particular concern to black women, whose hair is more likely than white women’s hair to be perceived as “unprofessional,” according to a 2019 study of 2,000 black and white women. In this episode Crystal and I talk about how we met and some ways we support each other through movement. Crystal also shares about the beginnings of her fitness journey as a BeachBody coach and some of the diet culture and toxic fitness practices she participated in early on. She discusses her process of unlearning and growing through her mistakes. We unpack the constant work needed in divesting from diet culture, and how we aren’t morally obligated to engage in fitness. I share a bit about how my chronic pain has been an embedded part of relationship with weightlifting and how it keeps my gender dysphoria at bay (complicated relationship to say the least.)Lastly, we finish up by answering some listener questions. I think you are going to really enjoy this episode!
