Perfect Timing Multisport Ep 011 with Skylar & Noah of The Gorée Project
Manage episode 342852265 series 3252245
On this week’s episode we talked to Skylar and Noah, two Howard University Swim and Dive Team Captains, and swimmers of The Gorée Project, a project of Black Kid's Swim, Inc. Noah and Skylar will be swimming from the coast of Dakar to the Island of Gorée in Senegal. The swim from the coast of Dakar to the Island of Gorée is a historic 3.5 mile open water swim where hundreds of Senegalese and African swimmers retrace the same path enslaved Africans traveled over 400 years ago to flee Gorée before being shipped in the cross Atlantic slave trade. The Gorée Project will follow two young Black swimmers in their journey as they prepare for not only their first trip to Senegal, but their first trip to the Motherland for this momentous occasion.
A special PTM Podcast Episode release, on the weekend of a major march for Black Lives in D.C. Because we are not in DC to stand along those marching, we are hoping to be present virtually through this powerful episode.
