In this episode of The Kolby Kulture Show, host Uncle Kolby interviews Sanaa Chege, a talented young author and competitive diver from Maryland. Sanaa shares her inspiring journey into the world of diving, overcoming obstacles, and the motivation behind her debut book, A Diver Like Me. This empowering book aims to inspire young Black girls to pursue their dreams, even in sports where representation may be lacking. Throughout the conversation, Sanaa emphasizes the importance of courage, inclusivity, and resilience in chasing your dreams. The episode also includes the weekly 'literary drop,' featuring a review of The Blackwoods by Brandi Colbert, a fun word association game, and a Q&A session with the audience.
