In this powerful episode, we sit down with Hawk Newsome, activist, community leader, and co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. Hawk brings his sharp insights on social justice and equity to the world of sports medicine, challenging us to see healthcare as a frontline in the fight for justice.

The conversation explores how systemic racism shows up in healthcare access, the parallels between activism and athletic training, and why dismantling oppressive structures requires both courage and creativity. Hawk’s voice pushes listeners to move beyond surface-level change and to consider what it means to revolutionize not just sports medicine, but the systems that shape people’s lives.

This episode is as much a rallying cry as it is a conversation, reminding us that health equity cannot exist without justice.
