Listen to it HERE

Jen Fry is a native of Arizona, was a Division II volleyball player, who then coached in college for over 15 years, including stints at Elon University, the University of Illinois (2011 National Runner-Up), Washington State University, and Norfolk State University.  

Today, Jen is a social justice educator, assisting college athletics administrations, staff, coaches, and athletes – training them through an antiracist lens on issues of race, inclusion, intersectionality, diversity, and equity.

She is also currently working on her PhD in Geography at Michigan State University.

I really appreciated the opportunity to get to know Jen. I love everything she had to say, and really grateful that she contributed to this project.

I’d been following her for a while on Twitter, which I highly recommend. You can find her at @JenFryTalks.
