"8 years ago TODAY I ran my first marathon," she wrote, captioning a triumphant post-race photo from 2012. Crossing the finish line transformed her life, she continued, and months later, she founded Harlem Run"to ensure that more people who looked like me were crossing finishlines [sic]." For Désir,"running was always linked to political action — knowing my history of movement as protest — and mental health — the sense of freedom and liberation I experienced.
