Playing while Black: A look into Black student-athletes’ lives By Vanessa Jones - March 25, 2021 0 4786 FacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsApp All photos in this series were taken by Vanessa Jones. In 2020, Daisha Reece became the first female track athlete at Webster to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track Nationals. Reece explained how she felt added pressure being a Black student-athlete. “I felt responsible,” Reece said. “Everything I did someone would see and associate or relate it to something bigger than me, whether it be my school or my community. When they see me do good it’s an accomplishment, but when I mess up it can speak for everyone that I represent.” « ‹ of 5 › » Share this post Vanessa Jones General Manager | + posts Vanessa Jones https://websterjournal.com/author/vanessa/ Hunt Gallery to host closing reception for Ferguson exhibit Vanessa Jones https://websterjournal.com/author/vanessa/ Capturing Then and Now Vanessa Jones https://websterjournal.com/author/vanessa/ Photo Series: 10 things studying abroad taught me Related Related Posts Black Lives Matter co-founder speaks at WebsterPatrisse Cullors is a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement.
