Another Mother Runner

#419: Special Episode: Race + Running

Sarah and Dimity have a candid conversation with two African-American mother runners, Brandi Dockett and Jennnifer Baskerville-Burrows, about being a black runner in America today. In this special ad-free episode, the guests talk about:

-when they first realized how white the sport of running is;

-the necessity of picking “safe” routes and times of day to run;

-the support and camaraderie the group Black Girls Run! provides them;

-how a “raggedy” conversation is better than no conversation at all.
