Free Discussion ft. Diversify Ice Foundation represented by Joe Velasco (racial disparities in figure skating, image stigmas, the "model minority myth" in the sport, etc.)

Welcome back to Our Free Bodies!! In this week's episode, we have an incredible guest on our collaboration segment, Free Discussion: Diversify Ice Foundation, represented by Joe Velasco. Diversify Ice Foundation is a far-reaching non-profit organization that provides opportunities, financial support, and guidance to underprivileged skaters nationwide in order to help them reach their potential life and athletic goals. They believe that the sport should be available for everyone and for people of all economic and racial backgrounds. The insightful episode features discussion of the racial disparities apparent in figure skating and the effects of image stigmas (regarding the "petite body frame" ideal in skating) on minorities. Joe and I focused on challenging the historical narrative of figure skating as a predominantly white sport and even inspired conversation on the Asian American experience in figure skating and how perfectionism can be detrimental. We touched so many important topics, so I hope you enjoy!
