SBR 3 | What we owe one another: The Mechanics of Black women’s care ethic while leading w/ Dr. Leeja Carter
Dr. Wendi is in conversation with Dr. Leeja Carter. Leeja is a dear friend and much more. She is a psychologist and an expert on inclusive and equity-focused practice in sport and health.
I purposely invited Leeja to this conversation about the complexity of relationships between women and especially Black women in the context of our work and leadership experiences. Touchy, yes, but we are able to handle it. We have the relationship strength to hold this conversation. In this episode, we talk about relationship ruptures between Black women, how to heal them, and the personal values and priorities in work and relationships that make healing possible.
Leeja’s work and reach are phenomenal. As her friend, I have been so proud of how she has crafted the current iteration of her career. Realizing the breakdown of the social contract between the food service and restaurant industries and the food insecure at the start of the pandemic, Leeja developed what would become The Hunger Project of the Coalition for Food and Health Equity (https://www.coalitionequity.org/), a not-for-profit organization linking the food insecure on the NJ side of the Hudson Valley with the perishable food and empty restaurants in the area. The Coalition has raised significant public and private funding and was named a model program that continues to provide for a critical need during this desperate time in our nation.
Leeja’s expertise at the intersection of Black feminism and sport has also been sought after in the wake of Naomi Osaka’s and Simone Biles’s refusal to perform their athleticism in the midst of their mental health challenges at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has been featured on various news and podcast outlets discussing the topic, and her edited book, Feminist Applied Sport Psychology: From Theory to Practice (See link: https://bookshop.org/books/feminist-applied-sport-psychology-from-theory-to-practice/9781138483071) was the best resource for the moment.
