Our mission is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for Black rowers to connect, grow, and thrive. We aim to foster fellowship, build community, and affirm that each athlete belongs in the sport of rowing. By validating their presence and contributions, we want to amplify the message that Black rowers are invaluable and essential to this space. Through mentorship, advocacy, storytelling, and shared experiences, we work to provide resources and connections that empower athletes to navigate and excel in the sport at every level.
At BRAID, we are committed to creating a safe and empowering space for Black rowers to connect, grow, and thrive. But we can’t do it alone – we need your help to amplify our mission and vision. Whether you're a current athlete, coach, advocate, or ally, your involvement is vital in breaking barriers and ensuring Black rowers are celebrated and supported in every aspect of the sport.
