Proud Parent
Sometimes stuff flies under the radar too. My daughter’s gym is very diverse, probably the most diverse of all the many she’s been with, and she always loved that. She made a post about how gymnastics has to work to become more diverse and anti-racist, and cited the few examples that aren’t ok that she’s encountered over the years, and was surprised at the outpouring she received from fellow coaches and teammates about their experiences. It’s been an ongoing dialogue that is almost sort of therapy-ish. They’re getting together (with some parents as well) to present a letter to the gym’s board to explain how they can do better if they want to become a truly diverse place.
