How fast I’m praying my recovery will be 😂
Being still is so difficult for me, but I know I have to. I'll use the down time to truly be still & listen to whatever it is that God wants to put on my heart. There are so many things up in the air right now, so many decisions I need to make & my recovery will be the perfect time to really hash out everything.

Considering myomectomy recovery requires 2 to 3 weeks of bedrest, I am going to enjoy the few days that I do have left! Fibroids can’t hold a baddie down (fun fact: fibroids do in fact keep baddies down 🫠 I vomited 5 days last week due to my largest one pressing up against my intestines)

This is your reminder to take notice of your body & do scans at home on yourself! Over the last 2-3 months, I have been randomly cramping, at times it would be excruciating, & sometimes accompanied with 🤮 . I chalked it up to getting older & needing to change my diet. Last month I was checking myself & found a lump between my lower abdomen & my right hip.
I went to the dr two days later, had an ultrasound & MRI which confirmed multiple fibroids. Fibroids affect 8/10 women, & the chances are much higher in black women. I’ll have them removed (#myomectomy) soon & will document the healing process, but ladies BE CHECKING YOUR BODY!!!! It’s the only one you’ve got 💚

Uploading my travel ✈️ content because @asia.lanay inspired me to!!!!! I almost gave up bc @instagram won’t give me back my old page, but they can’t hold a real one down! If you know me, then you know how much I love Mexico 🇲🇽 it’s my most visited country (12 times). So happy I got to experience Tulum before it was taken over! #tulum #solocation
Just kidding 😂 Love my instructors down, even if they make my glutes burn, my hamstrings numb & my entire body shake! It hurts so good!! This was the most challenging class I’ve taken in a while. Thank you @cambracious for giving us new moves, along with the knowledge behind it! 💫

Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaching two Pilates classes at @txnedef 1st Fitness Market held at @pacificpipe ! It was such an amazing event! 10 different fitness activations, vendors & great vibes. So grateful, for the opportunity to showcase my teaching style, network & build community. Can’t wait to join the next one!!!
If you’re in the Bay and aren’t following @txnedef , you’re missing out! Shoutout to @afrofit_tribe for grabbing this content for me! 💚

One month of teaching Pilates and I’ve already learned it’s so much more than movement 🤍
It’s patience. It’s presence. It’s learning how to meet people (myself included) where they are—while still learning & growing every single class.
Grateful for every client, every correction, every moment. This is just the beginning 💫

Yesterday I held the first class of the Good Forme Sundays series! Good Forme Sundays is an intimate 50-minute Pilates class where movement, music, and mood come together. Held once a month on Sundays, each class features a curated playlist and a color theme designed to set the tone, shift your energy, and deepen your connection to your body. Marchs theme was This the South, fueled by Southern trap classics.
💚
Shoutout to @studioredhifi for coming through with a curated matcha menu! Make sure to reach out for your matcha & baked goods needs.
Tickets are already being sold for April’s class!!! Taking this week to pay myself on the back & then getting right back to it! Aprils theme is Throwback Pop & spring colors! Hope to see you there 💚

If you’re in Chicago you MUST go to the @msichicago !!! Now until April 19th the Black Creativity Juried Art is on exhibition. Beautiful is an understatement. I spent 90% of my time at the museum going through the exhibit. 🖼️ This isn’t everything, but some of my favorite pieces. #blackart #chicago #griffinmuseum
