Ready, Row! USA

"A Long Talk" founders Kyle Williams, Chief Empowerment Officer, and Kamal Carter, President, call themselves "just a couple of black fathers." Since starting the ALT movement in 2020, they have worked with rowing programs across the country including Washington, Columbia, and Three Rivers, as well as Fortune 500 corporations and leading universities.

Along with their colleague Matt Logue, their lunchtime keynote at USRowing Convention helped us reflect and understand systemic oppression and discrimination in our sport and in American society. We left the discussion inspired, motivated, and with a little more to think about than our sport, and they expanded on these themes in our livestream. Please let us know your impressions.
