Today, I'm chatting with Paulana Lamonier of Black People Will Swim, a social platform with a mission to encourage 2,020 Black people to learn to swim this year.
A swim coach herself, Paulana started a challenge back in 2019 to teach more Black people to swim and realized she had hit on something.
In this episode, we talk about the stereotypes about black people and swimming, why we should talk to our kids about stereotypes, how this becomes an important part of the Black Lives Matter movement, and why you should simply take your kids to swim class. And yourself too. Forget about your hair!
