Arshay Cooper, rower, author, activist

Having courage does so not mean the absence of fear. Having courage is being scared but still moving forward. This is part of the message Arshay Cooper shared with me when we chatted. Arshay Cooper is a rower, activist, and author of the memoir, A Most Beautiful Thing. His memoir shares the story of the country’s first all-black high school rowing team. His experience as on the team at Manley High School changed his life and his story will inspire you. His memoir was the inspiration for a new documentary “A Most Beautiful Thing.” If you have not yet watched this documentary, you need to immediately. Arshay is a role model for those of all ages. The work he is doing today will truly make the world a better place. Listen in to our conversation and watch the film. Connect with Arshay on Instagram and at ArshayCooper.com.
