So excited to finally present this conversation with Olympic gold medalist, Simone Manuel swimone, in support of #LoveOurGirls. Simone is truly the definition of what we at Love Our Girls call “A Girl We Love,” and I want to thank her for taking the time to sit down with me to discuss her journey as a Black woman in the field of competitive swimming. The work she is doing to increase water safety awareness and skills is utterly inspiring and truly saving young lives. I also loved diving into the importance of the portrayal of people of color navigating water in blackpanther: #WakandaForever. Please check out our full discussion and share with others if your experiences with water are similar to the swim stories we speak to. (Part 1 - watch part 2 on my reels)
