Utah Athletic's Podcasts

Kelise Davis of track & field and women’s basketball player Dasia Young wrap up our Black History Month series with host Steven “Sly” Sylvester

As we wrap up the Our Voices Podcast series for Black History Month, host Steven “Sly” Sylvester is joined by Kelise Davis of the track & field program and Dasia Young from women’s basketball. Both grew up in predominately white areas and relate experiences of how connecting with members of the Black community helped them feel more comfortable in their skin. Things such as musical tastes, preference hair styles and the way they carried themselves were are times a challenge. The women also discuss influential figures in their lives and how welcoming the Salt Lake and University communities have been to them.
