143. Confronting Inequality, with Black Girls RUN! CEO Jay Ell Alexander

143. Confronting Inequality, with Black Girls RUN! CEO Jay Ell Alexander

Our guest today is Jay Ell Alexander. She's the owner of The Vaughn Strategy, a public relations strategy consulting firm. And in 2018, she become the owner and CEO of the Black Girls RUN! Organization.

Black Girls RUN! wants to encourage African-American women to make fitness and healthy living a priority. Their goal is to create a movement to lower the disproportionately high health outcomes in the female African-American community and subsequently, lower the number of women with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle.

Our discussion today focuses on the history of Black Girls RUN, the health disparities African-American women experience, how we can all work together to create a more equal playing field, and how you can get involved with Black Girls Run.

Thank You PATH Projects

I also want to express my gratitude for the ongoing support from PATH Projects. They make affordable running gear that's incredibly high quality. You can find everything from running shorts to headwear on their site.

Currently, I'm wearing the Sykes 5″ Shorts (see them in action in this video), the Pyrinees hooded sweatshirt, and the Torch base liner. Their gear is unique, stylish, and a premium quality that feels great to wear. And because they are a direct to consumer shop, PATH skips the retail markup and keeps prices affordable.

I personally love how functional their gear is – both for running and wearing around the house. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!
