Latinx Rowers Speak Out, Part 1

Rowing in Color

#035 - During Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month we invited many members to join for a group conversations relating to the Latinx/Hispanic-American rowing experience. This is one of those conversations.

In this episode, we talked about:

• How they got into the sport
• How language has played a part in the boathouse
• Code switching
• Giving away your own culture in order to fit in [1:04:48]
• Why rowing is perceived as a white sport [1:15:46]
• What we’re doing wrong [1:36:40]

… and much more.
