What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Sickle cell disease, lifetime disability, single mother of 4, divorced. Fitness journey after a life or death situation. I was told to count my days. Instead of preparing for my goodbyes, I left hospitalization and discontinued all my medications to start my fitness journey. 4 years strong , since I was told to count my days. Lost 35 lbs, 135 lbs to 99 lbs. Built, toned, six pack. Healthiest I've ever been in life. Intentional dieting, no medications over 4 years. Opened fitness group, 11 moms.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I use all kinds of household items to do all my training. I can't afford a gym membership or equipments, as I am under the low income bracket. I watch training videos to teach, guide and and encourage me. I have never stepped into a gym for any sort of training. It would be a dream come true to have privileges and access to a gym.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would save half for the rainy days to ensure that I will always be able to afford food for my four children. That the food bank is no longer our dependency. Use the other half to invest in a fitness space for mothers and all kinds of disability patients.
