Formation and Goals of the Black Student Athlete Association
Founded in 2020, the Johns Hopkins University Chapter of the Black Student Athlete Association is a Black, student-run organization that seeks to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for athletes of every creed and ethnicity from across the African Diaspora. This organization is made up of student-athletes from every faction of the Department of Athletics and Recreation.
The main vision of BSAA is to establish a supportive, family atmosphere for Black athletes on campus, empowering each other as we seek to become a positive entity in both the Hopkins and surrounding Baltimore community. The atmosphere of a predominately white institution is often unsupportive for the concerns of Black student-athletes, so this collective strives to create a space for these individuals to feel comfortable and connect with those who share in their feelings and experiences.
Hear from three of the groups founding members about their experiences, their goals and visions for the group and how they see their role as Black Student Athletes at Johns Hopkins in affecting change in the community.
