I met Akheel a few years ago when he was working on starting an adaptive sports program at San Diego State University.  He is a bright shining light in the world of providing more opportunities for persons with disabilities to play sports.  You'll find this interview very engaging as we talk about Akheel's childhood, his being a Paralympian in Rio and his starting of the SDSU program, one of the few in the US.  We also talk about racism and what we have to do in moving forward.
