Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell shares her experience of being the first Black woman in various fields, including swimming for Great Britain and studying at Oxford University.
Her new memoir, 'These Heavy Black Bones,' explores the sacrifices and strains of competing at the highest levels as a young athlete and the toll it took on her mental health.
Ajulu-Bushell reflects on the impact of revisiting her sports career, especially in the wake of events like the George Floyd murder and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.
