Description
For this month’s episode I spoke with Alison Desir, founder of Harlem Run, a NY-based run collective, as well as several other organizations that bring people together around movement and community. She’s passionate about building strong, positive, and diverse communities, simply because her organizations are built by people, and creating a place where they feel safe, accepted, valued, and welcome is important for them to thrive. She also advocates for the importance of mental health, having obtained her master’s in Counseling Psychology, and has publicly spoken about her depression and how ultimately it led her to seek out connection with other people through running. She builds on what she learned through her struggle to make each one of her communities more meaningful to everyone involved.
