The app for independent voices

As a white, middle-aged, middle income, middle-class English bloke, it’s not exactly second nature for me to understand what life must have been like for a Puerto Rican kid from the Bronx who’s family upped sticks to a white community.

Fortunately for me, Jason Bahamundi explains it perfectly here.

He talks movingly about the impact trying to discover who he was had on him, and the role - for good and bad - that running had in that journey.

It’s an important lesson because it applies as much to a black or Muslim kid, a trans man or woman, or a gay individual.

Othering people who may already feel different, rather than embracing them, is one of the most destructive things we can do in society.

Keep being you Jason!
