This week we have an EXTRA special episode featuring exemplary athlete and advocate Chris Mosier. If you haven’t yet had the joy of learning about Chris, here’s a brief rundown of his incredible accomplishments:
- First trans man to make a men’s US national team
- 6 time team member of Team USA in triathlon and duathlon
- Has won two national championships in race walking
- First trans athlete to compete in the Olympic trials in the gender in which they identify
Rachel and Jor-El talk to Chris about living his personal motto “be who you needed when you were younger”, advocating for youth athletes and leaving a legacy as a trans athlete. This episode is definitely not one to be missed!
We also learn more about Chris’ background in sports and who his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is. This is a good one filled with heart, humor and purpose.
