My personal journey with mental and physical wellness has shaped how I approach movement and community today. For years, I’ve battled both depression and hormonal imbalances, and for me, movement combined with community and resource sharing became my saving grace, ultimately giving me mental confidence, structure, and a sense of belonging when I needed it most.

As I grew in my own wellness journey, I realized I wasn’t alone. So many others, especially professionals of color, were struggling with similar challenges and searching for spaces where they could connect authentically, share resources, and feel supported by people who understood their unique experiences.

That realization inspired me to create Fit4Purpose.

I use fitness as the vehicle, but the mission is much bigger: to create spaces where people can reset, reflect, and realign, while unapologetically talking about their mental health.

Because of my first-hand experience in seeing how fitness and mindfulness work can create lasting change, I am so excited to live out my purpose of pouring back into my community by guiding others to uncover the tools within themselves to build strength, confidence, and balance — both physically and mentally.
