Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road for me. Being an African American woman in the fitness Industry is tough. Your look, your knowledge and who you know is always being judged, The necessity to grow and expand has been difficult. Learning to create my own content and building from nothing. In this world, finding a niche, a family and building together is the answer. I found that working with other trainers women and men has strengthened my techniques and training styles. While also strengthening theirs. Our clients get the best of both worlds they get a great workout and an accountable friend! So the challenge is to get people to see you for you and not what they want you to be.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
