Bryan Washington has been a friend of ours for years. He’s gym owner – in fact, he owns a couple of gyms here where we live in Sacramento. When we met him, he was a trainer inside the same gym building where we used to train. We don’t know many people who have more energy or hustle. He’s very involved in community issues, in part because he comes from a family in which his dad spent half a century in law enforcement.

He’s also African American.

He’s the one person we most wanted to talk to about the upheavals in our community…and communities around the world. We got his perspective not only on the current moment, and even on events from our shared past.   

You can find Bryan at his on Instagram @theabs1er. Also, check out his gyms The Academy and All City Riders.
