Paulana (rhymes with Moana) is the founder of BPWS. She is a Haitian-American (Sak pasé!), multimedia journalist, a certified swim instructor, and lifeguard with 10 years of experience. BPWS was birthed when she was taking an instructor certification course when realizing she was 1 of 2 Black instructors in a class of 8. This put into perspective that there are not enough Black people learning how to swim, but Black instructors sharing this life skill to our community!

ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE WILL SWIM: Black People Will Swim’s sole mission is plain and simple: it’s smashing the stereotype that Black people don’t swim. We aim to do this through a number of ways with our acronym F.A.C.E. encouraging our community to FACE their fears.
