I’ve heard that sentiment throughout my entire diving journey — whether being called a “weird child” by family or being told it’s strange because “Black people don’t swim.” That’s the box that society has placed me in. But being a diver at Howard University and the groundbreaking success of our swimming and diving teams dismantle this narrative.  We’re double champions. Our men’s team won its third Northeast conference title in February, and this is the first time that an HBCU women’s swimming and diving program has won a conference title. ]]>
