017: Up Your Inclusivity
A core mission of this podcast is to increase the accessibility of barbells to all people, and especially those who have historically not been included in strength culture. On today’s episode, Cassi and Katherine begin their discussion about what inclusivity means when it comes to gyms, how you might approach inclusivity if you want to change your gym environment, and some ways to be an aspiring ally. We also talk about our queer-ish identities, and the September issue of Vogue Magazine.
