21 Talks with BLM with Coach Matt Logie & Pro player Mike Ojo

As hosts of the podcast, 21, we share the grief, sadness, and outrage felt by so many in the wake of George Floyd’s tragic death. We condemn all acts of violence and racism, and we lend our support to those who demand change by peaceful and productive means.

One of the objectives of the 21 podcast is to equip student athletes with knowledge and life lessons that extend beyond the court. We explore the powerful connections between sports, society, business, and everyday life.

In light of these recent painful events, we will devote podcasts to conversations about racism in our country, and how sports can serve as a place for respect and unity. We will talk with players, coaches, educators, and parents about their experiences with racial biases in an effort to garner tangible actions that can help us all become more inclusive leaders on and off the court.

In this episode, we talk with Coach Matt Logie and Michael Ojo to discuss the impact of George Floyd’s death and what coaches and players can do in order to pave a positive path forward.

Matt is the Head Basketball Coach at Point Loma Nazarene University. Prior to joining PLNU, Matt was a three-time NWC Coach of the Year and a two-time finalist for the Glenn Robinson National Coach of the Year Award.

Mike is a decorated professional basketball player whose love for the game has positioned him to see the world. Mike has played professionally in the UK, Spain, Austria, Cyprus and the Nigerian national team.

21 will lend our microphone to these crucial conversations for as long as it takes finally see healing in race relations. All lives cannot matter until Black lives matter.
