Another thing that I do, which is procrastination, but it’s also part of the process, is I’ll go for a run. And, of course, anybody who’s a runner who’s listening knows this, that’s when I often get some of my best ideas.

Alison Mariella Desir (@alisonmdesir) is a runner, activist, and author of Running While Black: Finding Freedom in a Sport That Wasn’t Built for Us (Portfolio).
A couple months ago I recommended Running While Black not only as a great read, but an important read. It gets into uncomfortable territory, but that’s what we need, it’s what we want, if we’re serious about inclusion, equity, diversity.
We start our conversation talking about procrastination and how running is part of Alison’s writing practice.
Then we dive into the meat of the book, which addresses the systemic racism of this country, white supremacy, and defining what diversity, equity, and inclusion actually are so we have a better grasp of how to leverage them for the change we seek to make.
