Anti-Racism & EDI
I believe in body autonomy and that everyone deserves to experience fitness on their own terms, free from shame, pressure, or judgment.
Fitness should be accessible, empowering, and inclusive. That starts with representation across body types, lived experiences, self-expression, race, gender identity, age, ability, and beyond. No one should feel invisible or unwelcome in movement spaces.
Recognizing my position as a white professional in the fitness industry, I'm committed to making the fitness space more inclusive through collaboration and conversation with professionals in the fitness and nutrition space of different races, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, and physical abilities.
The fitness industry has historically amplified a limited range of voices. I aim to be part of the change by supporting and highlighting resources that contribute to a more inclusive environment.
Below, I've included anti-racism resources related to fitness and wellness, as well as links to Black-owned movement education programs, apparel companies, and the social media accounts and websites of individuals working to improve representation and create safer spaces for individuals in larger bodies, and those who are Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+.
