Black Girls Run! owner and CEO on how to support healthy lifestyles in the Black community

I am honored and humbled to have Jay Ell Alexander, Owner and CEO of Black Girls Run! on the show today. She shares about Black Girls Run! and how it empowers women to life a healthy lifestyle through community and accountability.

We discuss:

  • Healthy lifestyle challenges in the African American community
  • The Black Girls Run! organization structure and community (even though they are "alone together" right now)
  • The importance of representation in all areas to encourage healthy lifestyles in everyone
  • How the white community can offer support without it being a knee-jerk reaction to external events
  • Why the eRace Racism virtual race is so meaningful to me
  • Is it ok to show up at a Black Girls Run! event if you're not Black?
