Striding to the Masters with Supa


Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Supa D.A. Meikle.

Supa has been active in sports since the age of 4, so becoming a varsity athlete while completing his undergrad degree at Western University was no surprise. He then went on to obtain a Master’s Degree from the University of Guelph then into a special honours program at York University.

By profession, he is an advisor in the Office of the Leader of the Oficial Opposition but he is also a natural leader. He devotes his success to the support of his family and the importance of managing your energy and doing things that makes you truly fulfilled.

The next step in Supa’s athletic journey is competing at the Masters Level of Track & Field where he is representing Jamaica for the Master’s Track & Field Team. Along with other athletes from the theJAMCAN International Athletics Club, he will be competing in a variety of different events with Masters Athletes who are over the age of 35.

Through his passion for building and strengthening community, he has made it his mission to eliminate systemic racism and to have everyone understand that through diversity so much can be done.
