About this listen

In this Side Salad episode of The Salad Bowl Podcast, Kev takes a hard look at a soft place—the community pool. In the heart of New Orleans—a city celebrated for its cultural gumbo—why does the pool still look so… segregated?

From childhood stereotypes like “Black people don’t swim” to the violent history of segregated swimming spaces, Kev dives deep into the hidden currents shaping who feels welcome—and who doesn’t. This isn’t about blame—it’s about curiosity, legacy, and reclaiming joy.

Is it the cost? The culture? The cues we’ve inherited?

This short but powerful episode will have you rethinking public spaces, generational habits, and the meaning of true community. 💭🌊

Tap in, chew on it, and drop your thoughts—because community isn’t real unless everybody’s invited.
