Several months back, we shared Linford's journey with you. He arrived at BPWS with no swimming skills at all. However, after just six lessons, he overcame his anxieties and mastered swimming, all thanks to the #makingwaves initiative by @outdoorafro. #BPWS #Blackpeoplewillswim

At Black People Will Swim, we teach our students how to prepare for the worst-case scenario. However, as a founder, it's my job to do that for the business. Thanks to the Verizon Digital Ready program, I can do that. #VerizonPartner #DigitalReady
