Panelists discuss diversity in sports and sports media. They talk about activism by athletes, increasing diversity within sports franchises, dealing racism from fans and commentators, and much more. This month's panelists are writer, producer and host Donnovan Bennett from Rogers Sportsnet; national champion powerlifter Kafui Hotsonyame and Tamika Drysdale from the Canadian Olympic Committee
As we start to adjust to a new normal, there is much work to be done ahead in relation to race and racism, and discrimination, especially in Canada. While this work might be uncomfortable, this discomfort will actually help us to learn and grow. What we really want to do is continue the conversation because it is vital. The goal of this discussion is to provide some tools to help you affect positive change within the community and yourself.
