This is Laura Rice, and you're listening to Full Body Frequency. My guest this segment is Idy Uyoe. He is an Olympic historian and leads Idy Sports (https://www.idysports.com/), a sports marketing, media, and events management agency located in Atlanta, Georgia. Not only does he work with several African Olympic Committees, but he also ran one leg of the 1996 Summer Olympic torch relay. In this segment: Idy Uyoe and I discuss the regulation of Black women’s bodies. We begin with British swimmer Alice Dearing, her natural hair, and Soul Cap; natural hormones and the bannings of Olympic middle-distance runner Caster Semenya and Namibian track and field stars Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi. Uyoe also touches on the Olympic disqualifications of Sha’Carri Richardson and the Nigerian women’s 4x400 team. #EpisodePreview #SummerOlympics #TheBlackBody How a Ban on a Swim Cap Galvanized Black Swimmers: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/14/style/olympics-soul-cap-ban-swimming.html The Ban on Swimming Caps for Black Women is Just One Example of Racism at the Olympics: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ban-swimming-caps-black-women-130020143.html Soul Cap (Hair Care for the Volume Blessed): https://soulcap.com/ Natural Hormones: The Testosterone Debate Won’t End with Caster Semenya https://www.outsideonline.com/health/running/caster-semenya-christine-mboma-beatrice-masilingi-testosterone/ Blocked From Her Signature Race, Caster Semenya Won’t Run in Tokyo: https://www.wsj.com/articles/caster-semenya-tokyo-olympics-11625159284 Namibian teens vow to fight Olympics testosterone ban: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57748135 Thanks for tuning in.
