In this episode, we welcome Katie Wax-White. Katie is a native of Hampton Roads, VA, but currently resides and runs in Atlanta (ATL). However, the journey to be where she is, running as an adult, was once considered impossible. An injury in her senior year of High School put her on the sidelines, almost permanently, and began a painful journey of just trying to be comfortable. For her, running today means so much more than time, it is a reflection of where she has come from. The joy she brings to the community and running is a reminder of the gratefulness we have in movement.

Check out this episode, hearing Katie’s story and what she is up to now.

When life gets busy, it is amazing to know you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. I went back into my previous podcasts archive and found this gem.

Ray is a runner local to the Hampton Roads area, and has become a leader when it comes to helping folks understand the importance of running and movement in general.

Take a listen to Ray’s journey, and I hope to get Ray an official “Run Build Grow” recording to talk about what community has done for his journey at every step.

Welcome to Run Build Grow hosted by Andrew Ware. Thank you for joining as we explore the communal spirit of running.

This episode features the owner and founder of VCPM, Inc. and Game Changers, Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell. Vanessa is a runner, coach, and visionary leader for the global running community through her group and organization Game Changers. Vanessa’s journey is one of coming to running, to fill a gap in her life and to honor many of the amazing trailblazing women that came before her. Little did she know she would be a trailblazer in her own respect. The more she learned and grew as a runner the more she saw a space that needed more diversity.
