21 Talks BLM with Sonya Pitcaithly & April McCullar

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”– James Baldwin

While one of the objectives of 21 is to equip student athletes with knowledge and life lessons that extend beyond the court, we also understand that our podcast will serve as a platform to discuss relevant, and sometimes difficult societal topics. In response to the recent death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests, we previously talked with Coach Matt Nogie and Mike Ojo about what coaches and players can do pave a positive path forward. In this episode, listen as we talk to April McCullar and Sonya Pitcaithly, both moms to 11-year-old sons who love basketball.

Like so many parents, April and Sonya are trying to process the events surrounding George Floyd’s death and the Black Lives Matter movement, while grappling with how to discuss issues of race with their children.

We thank April and Sonya for their willingness to share their thoughts on this forum. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to combating racism, but we also know that change cannot happen without courageous conversations, active listening, and an innate belief in the power of universal goodness.

21 will continue to lend our microphone to these crucial conversations for as long as it takes to finally see much needed healing in race relations. All lives cannot matter until Black lives matter
