Ep. 0007: Dissecting Race, Identity + Sports Accessibility in the LGBTQ+ Community with Roc Roshon of Rooted Resistance
Meet Roc Roshon, a trans masculine educator with a B.S. in Sports and Leisure Management from Eastern Connecticut State University, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of South Florida and doctorate student in the Department of Sport Management at Florida State University. With all of these dynamic credentials and powerful work in the fitness space, Roc saw the importance of creating a community that reimagines spaces for movement for queer and transgender communities.
On this episode, Roc and Latoya Shauntay Snell touches on several layers of intersectionality in the fitness and wellness space and how race, sexual identity, gender/non gender identity and accessibility can help people from marginalized communities thrive when resources are provided. Roc talks about their experience with sports in high school, college and beyond that was afforded to them from another institution. Latoya and Roc talk about their queer identities and some of the typecasting that's associated to LGBTQ+ people. Roc and Latoya talk about sexuality, binary identity structure, pronoun usage and not overthinking the process of being an ally to LGBTQ+ people.
