Our next guest on MissionCTRL has a name that bears a striking resemblance to the call letters of a radio station, which is ironic because Lidj Lewis started his career at WWRL as an intern with Sonny Taylor. Lewis was born in Harlem and grew up in Brooklyn. He holds a BA in English/Communications from The City College of New York, an MBA from Pace University, and an MA in Secondary Inclusive Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Lidj is the Founder of The Trip Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that funds domestic and international field trips for public high schools in low-income areas. Tune in to hear how Lewis transitioned from the world of media broadcasting to education and into running a nonprofit. Before diving into Lewis’ story, Ramon and the PD Flight Crew tackle some amazing stories of BIPOC athletes in non-traditional sports, such as Lewis Hamilton in F1 and Biniam Girmay in the Tour de France.
