Racism, Trans & Non Binary Athletes in Sport with Duke Agyapong
Duke is a bike racer, a poet & a model. Duke identifies as non binary and today we discuss the challenges Duke faces in the sport of cycling.
Today's show sponsor is Wattbike. I've played around with a lot of indoor training tools and they don't come any better than the Wattbike Atom. For more info on the Atom, head over to wattbike.com
Today's show is also brought to you with special thanks to our amazing on-going sponsor Factor Bikes
“But then it's understanding that if you could just call me by my name, or just them, it would make both of our lives easier. And just that resistance. Usually, that's what slows the conversation down a lot to you know, rather than people just listening, there's always going to be that resistance.”
