Forget about asking for a seat at the table, build your own table.
//
For the last couple weeks I’ve read and seen many of my running friends advocating for Runner’s World magazine to put more people of color on their covers. While I agree with them on the importance of diversity and representation in Runner’s World, and don’t discount the important work they’ve been doing, I’m here to say that we can be the change we want to see in the running world by creating our own.
//
Why depend on 1 running print magazine to highlight and share our stories, when we have the power, skill set and influence to build hundreds if not thousands of diverse online communities ourselves?
Think about the runners and running related accounts that you follow now. How many of them did you find in a runners magazine? For me, not many. 
I have found more people to connect with on social media than I have through any print magazine. 
//
We don’t need to advise them on who they should feature. 
We don’t need to request that they use people of color during production or on set.
We have the runners.
We have the skills.
We have the audience.
We have the brand relationships.
We have the influence.
We have the power.
We can build our table. 
//
I’ve created a new online community calIed, Diverse Runners World @diverserunnersworld to share images of runners of different ethnicities, cultures, ages, gender identities, shapes and sizes. 
Please follow and share.
My running peer Carolyn @irunfortheglory has been doing great work for years with her online community @diversewerun featuring multiethnic stories of runners.
Please follow and share.
If you have a or know a diverse online community or tag and share them below. Let’s build together. Diversity Matters. #diverserunnersworld

#buildyourowntable / #TABL #Repost @tabl.app ・・・ AVAILABLE FOR ANDROID NOW!!!!! TABL is an application that makes it simple to #findblackownedbusinesses and generate leads for those businesses. We in the black community know how important it is to #supportblackownedbusinesses. But, sometimes it's difficult to find those businesses and it's also difficult for owners to connect with customers. Now that TABL is available for Android and will soon be available for iOS customers will be able to find the products and services they need from owners in their community. ・・・ #vibewise: #IMROOTINGFOREVERYBODYBLACK. Why ask for seat, when you can #makeyourowntable? #ITSTIMETOBUILD, Lord willing and able. It doesn't matter if you're a #BlackBusinessOwner or a supporter of #BlackExcellence just seeking to #ShopBlack, We suggest you #thinkBLACK then download the #TABLapp. If you know like I know, Black Lives Will Never Matter until we let the world economy know that #BLACKDOLLARSMATTER... But that's a whole other matter, So we'll table that discussion. As for now, we just want you to know that our friends at @tabl.app have made it easier for you to exercise #blackbuyingpower And do business with people who look like you, Your momma, Your grandma dem, And your cousins. Henceforth, we are no longer knocking on closed doors, Nor are we asking for a seat at the table. The time has come to recognize, We as a people are an economic force; For who can stop The Universal Black Man when he opens the doors to bring his brothers and sisters to the table? -Stevie #findablackownedbusiness, #supportablackownedbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/B03mh6iBXax/?igshid=1k3k05jd1xmtg
