It’s a Play It Forward special episode!!!

For Black History month, our friends from PeacePlayers United States asked us to help raise awareness on the interconnectedness of Sport, Social Justice, and Civil Rights, especially as it pertains to the messages and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To do just this, we convened an expert panel of individuals who are all working to build peace and equity in their respective fields. Renata Simril of LA84 and so so so much more; former NBA player, professor at Columbia Law and returning guest Len Elmore; and PeacePlayers United States very own Executive Director, Adam Johnson!

In this special episode of the social justice podcast Play It Forward, you’ll hear from our guests on how they are incorporating Dr. King’s legacy and work into their lives, and advice for overcoming racial and gender barriers. Oh, and you best believe they hit on ALL of PeacePlayers core values: seeing people as people, inside out transformation, and building a culture of collaboration! We hope you enjoy this brilliant conversation as much as we did!
