Black Mentality Podcast

In this episode of the Black Mentality Podcast, we explore the deep-rooted fear of water in Black and migrant communities, and how cultural beliefs, access, and past experiences shape our relationship with swimming. Joined by Ennia Jones, we unpack aquaphobia, generational narratives, and the mental blocks that keep many adults out of the water. More importantly, we explore how to rebuild confidence, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace small acts of bravery that can literally save your life. This is more than swimming, it is about safety, healing, and reclaiming something that was never meant to be out of reach.
