" Anyone who has been running, even for just a few months, can attest to the fact that running  will reveal things to you about yourself..." Carolyn Su, Creator Diverse We Run, @diversewerun*** Carolyn Su is the creator of the Instagram platform, @DiverseWeRun, where she writes weekly features to amplify visual representation of BIPOC folks in the running space. She uses the her platform to advocate for racial representation, equity, and inclusion in the running community. As a daughter of Taiwanese-immigrant parents, Carolyn grew up straddling the expectations of two different cultures, while navigating the socio-racial impact of the Model Minority Myth. She now lives in Boston, MA, where she continues her advocacy through ministry with her church, activism in her children’s school, and collaboration with local running brands, BIPOC-led running groups and individuals. Her ultimate mission is to equip and empower others to be able to show up fully as themselves, in all aspects of life.*** Visit @diversewerun ( https://www.instagram.com/diversewerun/ ) to find out more about the diverse running community. Also, visit the Runner's Alliance ( https://www.runnersworld.com/runnersalliance/) for more information and resources on creating safer space for runners. For Carolyn, safety includes making spaces safer in many ways (physically, mentally, and so on) but also making spaces safer specifically for BIPOC runners. *** BONUS RESOURCE: For more information on how to create safer spaces for BIPOC and LGBTQ folks in fitness spaces also visit @decolonizingfitness ( https://www.instagram.com/decolonizing_fitness/ )and Decolonizing Fitness ( https://linktr.ee/decolonizing_fitness ) online.***
