Description

Want to know what an aquatic activist is? Then dive headfirst into an episode that promises to saturate your spirit with inspiration and courage as we're joined by the extraordinary Hasna Muhammad.  Besides being a passionate masters swimmer, Hasna is a visual artist, writer, and educator whose work focuses on family, social justice, education, and the human condition. Her photography has been exhibited in various cities in the United States, and has a successful book, Breathe In the Sky: Poems, Prayers & Photographs.Her narrative weaves through the lanes of competitive swimming, artistry, and a fervent quest for social justice and a strong butterfly swim stroke, offering a powerful testament to the strength of human spirit. Hasna's voice isn't just one of triumph; it's a catalyst for change, echoing the stories of finding solace and strength in the waters of swimming, perseverance and community. Learn about Hasna's life, from her young days in the pool to her high impact "Swimmer Girl" Moth performance. She inspires us with her relentless determination to return to competitive swimming, despite societal expectations and personal hurdles—like hair maintenance and injury recovery. Hasna's narrative shatters stereotypes, encourages body positivity, and serves as a resounding call to action for black women (black people) and older adults to embrace the freedom and joy of swimming without succumbing to societal constraints.So, whether you're poolside or oceanside, let this episode be your invitation to immerse yourself in the transformative power of swimming.
