Welcome Jackie Wiley to G&C! She joins the pod to talk about her organization, Sportsmen's Tennis & Enrichment Center, which is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to bringing health and wellness, academic excellence, and tennis to the Blue Hill Corridor of Boston. They offer health chats, after school programs, wellness activities, and currently are offering the vaccine for community members. Bonus: Jackie's mom Toni Wiley is the CEO. (Yes, you read that right: a Black woman running an amazing company inspiring her community!) Along the way, Jackie talks about the inequities that exist for people of color in education and healthcare. Pay attention to ways you can give to Sportsmen's Tennis so we can continue to support kids and families in our community.
