Welcome back to the #BlackWomenKnowSports Podcast! I am your host Jaydn James and today you will be hearing my conversation with Candace Cooper. Candace is the strategy lead for Nike women in Portland, a former athlete at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill  where she was the first African American woman to ever swim at UNC on the varsity level. In this episode, Candace breaks down what it’s like to navigate the waters, how her love for swimming started, and the future plans she has for black women in swim. Without further ado, here is today’s episode!
