I spoke with Devin Mallory who is a senior at UCLA majoring in dance and minoring in Food Studies. In his junior year, Devin broke barriers by being the first male to join UCLA's spirit squad. Devin talks about the stigmas of being a male dancer, his experience as the mascot Joe the Bruin, his desire to join the squad, and the challenges he faced being under the microscope. We also discuss the pervasive role diet culture plays in athlete's lives and the work he aspires to do as a nutritionist to change these norms in society.
