Episode 26: No Woman Left Behind (with Jay Ell Alexander)

For this week's conversation I am joined by the CEO of Black
Girls RUN!, Jay Ell Alexander.  Black Girls RUN! began as a
blog in 2009 where the co-founders journaled about their running
experiences. As the popularity of the blog increased and an
initial call out brought out a few hundred women, BGR moved from
being a blog to  becoming a community. BGR is now a 250, 000
-strong organization that tackles the growing obesity epidemic in
the African-American community and encourages, motivates and
provide resources to help black women practice a healthy
lifestyle. Jay Ell shares with listeners the impact that BGR has
had on her career and life, and the passion that she has for
getting more Black women healthier and on the
pavement.
