A Conversation About Race

This is sure to be one of the most impactful and most educational shows in USAW Podcast history.

As a weightlifting community, we have all been impacted by the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. USA Weightlifting has affirmed its position that black lives do matter and stands in solidarity with the call to end systemic racism. To sustain this critical national conversation, we, along with Olympian and International Coach Cara Heads Slaughter, discuss systemic racism, privilege, what it is required to be anti-racist along with how discussing race once created a hurtful memory in Cara's and Cheryl's 20+ year friendship.
