Description
<p>The United States has been struggling with racial problems since the colonial era where dislike or rejection of racial minorities was common.<br> <br> Over the years, these minorities have raised their voices to ask for equality, respect, opportunities, and rights, generating enormous changes at the cultural and social levels. But, the fight is not over yet.<br> <br> Racism is still latent in our country and is ingrained in the hearts and minds of people who have refused to accept differences in color, culture, and language, causing hatred and delay within a country that constantly seeks progress.<br> <br> Today's guest Bo-Dean Sanders seeks to seal the gap between races by preaching diversity and inclusion across the country. In his book " Race Against ... Against Race," Bo-Dean opens the conversation between the race differences existing in the United States through his experience in the sports world — A world in which equality is considered the norm.<br> <br> This episode will show us how the world of sports is more than just entertainment. It is a world where it doesn't matter how you look as we fight for the same goal.<br> <br> Don't forget to share this episode, and let's start spreading the diversity and inclusion word.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>ABOUT BO-DEAN SANDERS</strong></p> <p>Bo-Dean was born in Jacksonville, Florida where he and his siblings were raised by their single mother.
