Join Rodney Van Reenen, famed circus performer, and Gyminny Kids teacher as we discuss the racism he experienced and how he used circus and gymnastics to better his life, travel the world, and now give back to his students. In conjunction with the release of this episode, Gyminny Kids has donated $250 to the La Mesa Business Disaster Recovery Fund and another $250 to the Equal Justice Initiative in Benito Holmes's name. Benito, pictured on the horse with Rodney kneeling, lost his life at the hands of a South African police officer. Founders, Liz &Rob have matched both donations for a total donation of $1000.
