North Korean spymaster, India’s ‘plogger,’ black women surfing to the 2020 olympics
Khadjou Sambe, from Dakar, Senegal, surfs at Santa Monica State Beach on Jan. 6, 2019. She wants to compete professionally, but one challenge is having enough money to go to qualifying events around the world. Rhonda Harper, founder of Black Girls Surf, says the average surfer could spend anywhere between $50,000 to $60,000 a year in travel fees and equipment.
