I was having a conversation the other day with a group of Black women who proudly shared that they can swim. I looked at them with amazement and admiration—they were rock stars in my eyes! Listening, I couldn't help but reflect on why I never learned to swim. Sure, I wasn’t raised with a pool, but there was likely one somewhere in my community. Then, I had to be honest with myself—the true reason was most likely rooted in my childhood fear of getting my hair wet.
