Perfect Timing Multisport

On this week’s episode of The PTM Podcast, we sat down with ultra FAST runner, and Active Duty Marine, Darien Edwards to wrap up Veteran’s Day. During this episode, we got to learn more about the journey from Darien's upbringing in a small New Jersey town, to Baltimore, Miami, and eventually into the Marines in 2018. Now stationed in Quantico looking to transition off of active duty, Dairen shares his love for the DMV community, and his excitement to stay in the area once his enlistment comes to an end. You don’t want to miss this episode from this PTM OG!

During the episode not only did we learn of Tay’s HBCU family legacy, but also of the athletic legacy that has molded how active and diverse of an athlete he is today.  We also got insight into how social sports and greek life molded him into a leader, and how athletic discipline translates into other sectors of his life.  Last, we discussed the upcoming 2020 District 19 Miler and 19K Race, an event organized by District Running Collective on October 18th.

On this week’s episode we talked to Skylar and Noah, two Howard University Swim and Dive Team Captains, and swimmers of The Gorée Project, a project of Black Kid's Swim, Inc. Noah and Skylar will be swimming from the coast of Dakar to the Island of Gorée in Senegal. The swim from the coast of Dakar to the Island of Gorée is a historic 3.5 mile open water swim where hundreds of Senegalese and African swimmers retrace the same path enslaved Africans traveled over 400 years ago to flee Gorée before being shipped in the cross Atlantic slave trade. The Gorée Project will follow two young Black swimmers in their journey as they prepare for not only their first trip to Senegal, but their first trip to the Motherland for this momentous occasion.

A special PTM Podcast Episode release, on the weekend of a major march for Black Lives in D.C. Because we are not in DC to stand along those marching, we are hoping to be present virtually through this powerful episode.
