Published: Oct. 20, 2020, 10 a.m.

Brave Voices is a podcast presented by Fighting Irish Media and Notre Dame Athletics.

Brave Voices is hosted by former Track and Field athlete and current FIM Producer, Indi Jackson. It will feature interviews with Black Notre Dame student-athletes to talk about race in their life in whatever form or fashion that they want.

In episode 1, Indi chats with former Notre Dame Leprechaun, Sam Jackson.  They discuss his experience as the second ever Black Leprechaun in Notre Dame history and how he handled the issue of race in his public role as the athletics mascot.

Later, they discuss race at Notre Dame and how the campus community can create a more inclusive and understanding environment.

The goal of this show is to ease the tension around this topic.  So sit back, listen, and learn!  It might be awkward...but only for now!
