You would think a project that earned Oprah Winfrey's praises was strategized to perfection and went according to plan. You would also be wrong, at least if you're talking about "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man."
It's a Youtube series hosted by NFL Analyst and former NFL Player Emmanuel Acho and produced by Olympic Gold Medalist Morolake Akinosun. Their series got millions of views, trended on social media often, impressed Oprah and turned into multiple books.
In this episode, Morolake discusses how the idea came about, how they created a safe space for 'uncomfortable conversations,' how she and Emmanuel handled criticism from Black viewers... and you can't have an Olympian on the show and not discuss one of the most memorable moments in women's track and field history!
She reflects on what she does and does NOT remember from being in the infamous Rio 2016 4x1 relay when the baton Allyson Felix was holding hit the track mid-relay, but the women still left the arena wearing gold medals.
