@heytheredolapo hour: Breaking Down Barriers

⚠️Trigger warning: Self-harm & suicide

After landing an internship people can only dream of, Dolapo began her journey to becoming a Dietician. She broke down barriers, representing the African American community by being one of the first people of colour to graduate in the program. (MIC DROP!!!)

As a college basketball player, Dolapo saw her worth in her strength and success within the sport. But when a knee injury forced her to rediscover her worth, she started experiencing new things. Enter her love of Pilates and the lesson of bringing slow movements into everyday life in order to remain grounded.

This episode is filled with many important lessons — lessons learned through Dolapo’s upbringing, home life and mental health journey. Dolapo gracefully reminds us to bring gratitude with us everywhere we go and not to take our health and privilege for granted.
