Grounded with Dinée Dorame

In our eighth installment of Common Ground, a monthly cross-cast I'm co-hosting with Mario Fraioli of the Morning Shakeout Podcast, we talk all things music! This episode is one we've been talking about doing for a long time, and it's one that many listeners have been asking for. We've put together a Common Ground playlist (10 songs from me, 10 songs from Mario), which can be accessed via Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. There is no running talk this week but we go through each of the songs we chose, why we chose them, and tell lots of fun stories. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the first episode of Common Ground, a new monthly cross-cast I'm co-hosting with Mario Fraioli. We met a little over a year ago through the Tracksmith Fellowship Program and have become close friends since he started serving as my podcast mentor. We're calling this new project Common Ground because we are two people who come from very different backgrounds and upbringings yet share a mutual love of running, podcasting, music, and more. We will feature conversations about what's currently exciting us in the sport, issues in the community and industry, and we may even take some listener questions. Common Ground will be released monthly in both the morning shakeout and Grounded Podcast feeds so there's no need to subscribe to a separate show.

Craig Curley (Diné) is a marathoner and 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifier. Craig's professional running journey has been a winding path. In the early 2000s, he was considered a top high school runner in Arizona. Forgoing Division I collegiate opportunities, he went on to compete for Pima Community College for two years and broke the 5,000m record which was previously held by Pima Community College alum Abdi Abdirahman. Shortly after the 2012 trials, Craig won the Columbus Marathon and signed a contract with Mizuno. In this conversation, we talk about the different phases of his running journey, the coaches he's worked with, and how his home life and cultural upbringing intersect with his running career. I am lucky to have connected with Craig through our mutual friend, Mario Fraioli. Mario is currently coaching Craig as he tackles this new season of running and life.

"Running for survival is not political. [Saying] 'Stop killing Native women' is not political. Representing myself as an Indigenous person is not political." Rosalie Fish (Cowlitz & Muckleshoot) is an activist and student-athlete running Division I Track/Cross-Country at the University of Washington. After a successful run at the junior college level running for Iowa Central CC, she joined the 2021-22 UW Track and Cross-Country recruiting class. She was the first member of her tribe to sign a National Letter of Intent for college athletics. Rosalie is well-known for her advocacy work in bringing awareness to the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, & Two-Spirit+ epidemic. She gained global attention in 2019 when she followed in the footsteps of Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel by painting a red handprint over her face during competition the WA state track meet and running honor of her missing relatives. In this conversation, we talk about what her experiences as a Native student-athlete, and particularly a runner, have been like since high school. We also talk about her training, life as an athlete at the Division I level, and goals for the future.

"All our Indigenous communities have runners that were messengers and caretakers…runners were the ones that helped communicate important messages about when to uprise..we are Indigenous runners, we are lifelines to our people and communities." Dr. Amanda Cheromiah (Laguna Pueblo) is an educator, storyteller, photographer, and avid runner. She recently received her PhD in Higher Education from the University of Arizona and is currently the Director of the Native SOAR (Student Outreach, Access & Resilience) Program on campus. Her dissertation, "The Indigenous Revolt in Education: Indigenous Feat – A Scholar's Pace," uses Indigenous methods of storytelling to highlight the experiences of 11 Indigenous runners, including herself. Her work focuses on the intersection of the higher education, running, land, spirituality, Indigenous cultures, and health–while also showing Native students that they are not alone in their educational journey and that we all ultimately "move at our own pace." In her free time, Dr. Cheromiah is a photographer and tells us about how being partially blind empowers her art and impacts her running. Join us in conversation as we discuss everything from college access to mental health to our favorite running gear!

"Movement and sport, in whichever way you want to do it, is this access point to so many other things…it's this access point to meeting new people, it's this access point to education. Everybody in my family always knew that it was more than just an individual [thing]." Graciela Esquivel is a New Mexico based runner, a Judicial Clerk for the NM Court of Appeals, and she happens to be my lifelong best friend! Graciela and I grew up together playing youth sports and went on to be basketball teammates throughout middle and high school. She graduated from Boston College in 2015 with a B.A. in Sociology, then went on to earn her J.D. from the University of New Mexico in 2020. She is a three-time half marathoner and we've even trained for one of those together! In this conversation, listen to us reflect on the power of youth sports in creating lifelong relationships, navigating our own insecurities as runners, and how her family influenced her love of movement.

Kyle Sumatzkuku (Hopi) is an endurance runner who qualified for the 2021 Boston Marathon and is currently raising funds for his trip. This year's marathon falls on October 11th (Indigenous Peoples' Day) and Kyle hopes to shed light on the legacy of Hopi running, represent his community, and put his longtime training to the test. Kyle's marathon journey is being fully documented by filmmaker Duane Humeyestewa (Hopi) for an upcoming project. Duane is also a lifelong distance runner who specializes in film, journalism, editing, and production. His perspective, as both a mentor to Kyle and a fellow Indigenous runner, allows him to bring depth and authenticity to Kyle's story.

"What better way to break down whatever artificial barriers that we may build up around us to protect ourselves than by doing something so physical and raw– like running is." Victoria Lo is an NYC-based designer, creative, and runner. She recently started Chinatown Runners, which is "a collective of runners around the world, formed by the community, for the community." Their mission is to "use running to protect and give back to our local Chinatowns and any other AAPI-centric neighborhoods." She started the group last year after seeing a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and has encouraged runners of all backgrounds to join in order to keep the community safe, spread awareness, and celebrate the diverse heritages of these neighborhoods. In this conversation, we also peel back the layers of Vic's own personal running journey, including some reflections on her first marathon training cycle years ago and the ways running helped her prioritize her own wellness. Our conversation covers so many themes– creativity, mental health, family, and also our favorite tv show!

"Don't see your athleticism or your competitiveness as a negative. In our society, when women are seen as driven or passionate or athletic, that can be seen as a negative. It's so important to accept who you are and take advantage of it, see it as a gift…" Alisa Meraz-Fishbein is a current sophomore running Track and Cross Country and majoring in Journalism at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Like me, she's an alumna of Albuquerque High School and was coached by my dad, Doug Dorame. In high school, Alisa had three-straight top-10 finishes at the NM State Cross Country 5A Championships, including a third-place finish as a junior. She was also a member of the 1,600-medley AHS relay team my dad coached a few years ago, which broke the state record (4:11.10) with Alisa running the 800m anchor leg. In this conversation, we catch up about Alisa's recently launched podcast, Running Start, as well as life as college student-athlete during a pandemic. She's had to adjust to so many things over the past year– from solo training to staying social while not being physically on campus. Now, she's back in Boulder ready for year two! She shares with us her advice for aspiring collegiate runners and gives us some tips on how she stays organized, uninjured, and mentally focused.
