I Quit It Sarah Naomi

I have this fantasy of running along a beach at sunrise with a long ponytail flowing in the wind as the sun rises - it's BS! Running and I are not friends. Our relationship is a toxic one in which running keeps hurting me, I leave, and then it pulls me back in. This week I am joined by my former running partner (and husband) Scott to talk about why I keep quitting.

Quitting racism is a constant, ongoing process for me. Recognizing, understanding, and changing my own words and behaviors is one way to help change the system. This is where I'm at right now.
