In recognition of Pride Month, on the final episode of season two of Habitual Routine, the NYRR team celebrates and discusses the ways to support transgender and gender nonconforming runners. While it may feel like rainbow flags and celebrations much of the time during the month, the team wanted to bring continued attention to the unfortunate discrimination occurring for transgender and gender non confirming athletes particularly in youth sports. In our ‘HOW ‘segment, Annick and Roberto chat with Lauren Lubin. Lauren is a Diversity, Equity, and Belonging Expert and most recently an Executive Producer of We Exist: Beyond the Binary, an award-winning documentary that promotes gender identity awareness and equality specifically for gender non-confirming individuals. And in our ‘WHY’ segment, Shaquana chats with Caleb LoSchiavo, a public health PhD candidate, LGBTQ health advocate, and transgender athlete about how he uses running in his life. Follow Lauren and check out We Exist: Beyond the Binary. Follow Caleb. Thanks to Front Runners New York and Mastercard for supporting this episode.
