In this very first episode of The Culture Lap Podcast, I’m introducing myself — who I am, where I come from, and why I decided to start this show. At 18 years old, running changed my life in ways I never expected. It taught me discipline, patience, and how to keep moving when everything around me felt heavy.I break down what “The Culture Lap” really means to me: a space where Black culture, youth culture, and running culture all intersect. A space where I can show up unapologetically and help others feel confident doing the same.I also talk about my experience at the Nike After Dark Tour in London — a moment that felt like culture, creativity, and athleticism colliding all at once.This episode lays out what you can expect every week: real conversations, mindset growth, running talk, and stories from both my life and the culture around me.
