#002: While recorded during Black History Month, we will amplify Black voices anytime and every time. The interviewee of our second episode is Patricia Destine, who is the co-host of Rowing in Color. She is a Haitian American coxswain turned rower turned rowing coach who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Her experiences chronicle what it was like to learn how to row in a sports based youth development setting. With co-host Denise, Patricia recalls her experiences at the boathouse, at regattas, with racist teammates, with white coaches, and what it feels like to be black - and human.
