Joining Rob and Becs this week is celebrity stylist and marathon runner Kwasi Kessie whose influence spans both the fashion and sports worlds. Kwasi outlines his journeys in both fashion and running and shares his experience styling athletes like 100-meter Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles. He also reflects on his own experience on the roads, starting from when he was a kid running with NYRR and going on to complete 11 consecutive New York City Marathons. Kwasi grew up in Harlem and attributes his love of fashion to his mom, who took pride in curating high-quality wardrobes for her kids. A runner herself, she also completed the New York City Marathon, inspiring Kwasi to lace up and run his first marathon, which he did with Team for Kids. And our Member Moment this week features Stephanie Sokol who started running in 2019 and has completed five of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors, raising thousands of dollars for NYRR Team for Kids.
