Systemic Racism is everywhere. Systemic Racism impacts every aspect of our society. Whether it is in the educational system, the job market, access to resources, access to financial programs, and how our communities are encouraged or discouraged to succeed and more so what success looks like.
Systemic Racism also impacts health.

Maria and Roger discuss the history of crossfit, the landscape of the wellness and fitness arena, and who has access to these resources. Dr. Patrick Ford came to this conversation with passion and discuss how racism has affected the health and wellness of our BIPOC community members.
