The Run Wave

On this episode of The Run Wave Podcast, Kim is chatting with Nubia Ali and Jamia Fletcher, founders of the Louisville, KY based group Future Ancestors. These teenagers will impress you with their quest to keep Breonna Taylors name alive, their fight for equality & LGBTQ+ equal rights.

On June 18, 2022 they are putting on their very first road race titled Race For Justice.  This race is designed by a woman led group, takes place in Louisville KY, and is to honor the memory of Breonna Taylor who was brutally murdered in her home by the police on March 13, 2020.

I encourage you to support these Future Ancestors by being apart of their journey.  If you are in Louisville, come out and support them on June 18th, or register for the virtual race and run on your side of the world.

To learn more about the organization visit: https://futureancestors502.org/
