Dominick knew that the community needed running events where people of color also felt empowered and represented, so he founded BLK SUMMER RUN CLUB, just a summer project to run together.
A year later, hundreds of people are showing up for his runs, and he has to figure out how to manage the group, keep everyone safe, handle collaborations, continue to grow, and more.
We'll do a deep dive in to what's been key to his success, and what he needs to work on going forward.
