PODCAST: Kim Terrell-Kearney on Bowling's Diversity Problem by The Bowlers Journal Podcast

One of the main voices in that piece was USBC Hall of Famer Kim Terrell-Kearney, who spoke with BJI Editor Gianmarc Manzione about why the lack of diversity in pro bowling is a problem and why it’s important that the bowling industry do something about it.
