On the 3rd year anniversary of Black Girls Do Run UK, a community to inspire, encourage and motivate more black women to run, I spoke to Tasha about what inspired her to set up the community. She discussses fear of 'the sugars', the term used for diabetes which was prevalent in Jamaica where her parents were from.
I first interviewed Tasha two years ago for the GRTW podcast, just as the Black Lives matter movement exploded, a lot has changed for the community and Tasha.
Feted by brands including Strava, LuluLemon and Salomon, the community has also exploded.
We chat imposter syndrome and Tasha's hopes for the future of BGDRUK and her own running.
Find out more by listening to the full podcast.
