Breaking Barriers Through Movement: Live Panel Conversation in Partnership with On * Hello beautiful community, welcome back to Podcast Noor. This episode is a special live panel conversation. We recorded this podcast panel a few days before the 2023 New York City Marathon as one part of a partnership with the sportswear brand ON (www.on-running.com), and their social impact arm called Right To Run. On has been my go-to, for walking, running, working, out, and they just feel like clouds on my feet. * This conversation is about democratizing movement and what it really looks like to make movement and exercise accessible for all people. Our three panelists come from different experiences, Gaby Alcala being indigenous and an immigrant, Derek Drescher navigating addiction and homelessness, and Senn van Beek finding or rather creating safe spaces for folks. You'll hear me introduce them fully in the episode. * We are in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the On store in their upstairs community space. Before people were able to enter, they were greeted by my Mama and the Founder of ISeeYou Foundation (www.isyfoundation.org), where every attendee made an ISeeYou care package for people experiencing homelessness in New York City. * Around 50 of us gathered upstairs with pizza and the delightful On team, and we got into our bodies and got vulnerable about obstacles that we find in our way. My favorite part of this event was how engaged community members were. This is a very full conversation, voices from all over the world. The energy in the room is of collective healing and collective winning. Everyone is rooting for the other even when fear is present. And you'll hear my own experience when I share my fears around running and an audience member stops me in my tracks. * We are so excited to share more from our project with On's Right To Run. For now, enjoy this storytelling session on breaking barriers to movement. I'm Noor, At Your Service.
