Every runner & person in the running industry should be required to listen to or read 'Running While Black' by Alison Mariella Désir (she/her) - every part of it is incredible & the chapter on the Boston Marathon should be mandatory for everyone who thinks that race is 'it' amzn.to/3DfrPgg

It’s been a little over the week since #RunningWhileBlack came out and LITERALLY THOUSANDS of you have bought my book! Could you take a moment to leave a review on Goodreads and Amazon? Book reviews help new readers see my book and trust that they’ll love it.

I'm 1/3 of the way in - Alison Mariella Désir (she/her)'s 'Running While Black' is amazing. There are also moments of levity, like when she thought (Steve) Prefontaine's name was Pre Fontaine.When I was a kid, I heard the term 'prima Donna' and thought it was 'pre-Madonna' like pre-Raphaelite 😂

Finished listening to Running While Black by Alison Mariella Désir (she/her) today. Since I’m pretty sure anyone that sees this already has it on their list, I will simply recommend the audio so you can have Alison read it to you AND the hardcover for the timeline in the front.

'There are no shortage of running books, but there are very few written by Black people, let alone Black women, and none of which tell the story of the joy, but also the fear, that comes from running.' milesplit.com/articles/32282…

When Cristal said it didn’t rock with Black folks Jay Z dropped one bar and essentially ended their popularity. Black folks essentially killed Hilfiger off a *rumor* about an Oprah appearance. That collective energy wasn’t there for Kanye. Point blank.

Calling all runners! 🏃

RUNNING WHILE BLACK is a searing exposé from Alison Mariella Désir (she/her) that details the history of running and how America's racial politics dictate who running is for 👀

Finished listening to the audio version of Alison Mariella Désir (she/her) book #runningwhileblack . There’s so much to wrestle with here. It’s not a book about leadership, but it’s a book all running leaders should read.
