#HURDLEMOMENT: Trainer Taylor Rae Almonte On Having Conversations About Racism Hurdle
-
- Health & Fitness
February marks Black History Month, a time for education and celebration of Black culture. Today, I'm grateful to have Taylor Rae Almonte, an Afro-Latina actor and activist, on the show to share her story and have an open, honest conversation about race. Taylor’s a trainer at Rumble, a Reebok-sponsored athlete, and co-founder of an anti-racism wellness program ACTIV-ISM — which combines regular movement and mindful activities (from equipment-free workouts and walks to journaling) with anti-racism education. For today’s installment of #HURDLEMOMENT, she’s chatting with me about how she's combined her passions for social justice and health to find new purpose over the past year. We also unpack a handful of racial justice terminology to empower us to continue to have thoughtful, progressive dialogue going forward.
