Never in a million years did I think that I would get the opportunity to be on the front cover of a magazine nationwide and all across North America ā¦ the pain that Iāve been through.. the disappointmentsā¦ those nights that I cried but those mornings I had to hold my head up and smileā¦the blood, sweat and tears ā¦ Philadelphia I just want to thank yāall for giving me the opportunity in your city. We made it weāre here.!! Somewhere in America a little black girl is going to see me on the front cover magazine and gonna make her believe that anything is possibleā¦ I canāt thank you enough for helping me get to this point which I love and yāall support. This is for #philly š«¶š¾thank you @strongfitnessmag for highlighting my story !!!!
After training today for 3 hours non stop I was finally able to go to my car and cry yet again while thanking God as loud as I could!! Thank you @phillymag for naming me BEST TRAINER of The Year in your Best of Philly 2023 magazine !!!! @barbie isnāt the only girl painting this city pink todayš„¹ !!!! @bewellphilly@phillymag This was a complete shock but I am grateful and will show more of why this title was well deserved through my work in the community and my work in the health and wellness field !!! Thank you soo much ā¦.. omg I love you PHILLY !!!!!!š„¹ā¤ļøš 2023 is my year šŖš¾šššš ā¦
I really canāt get over being a national cover girl. š„¹ I swear it feels like yesterday when I got the email from @strongfitnessmag ā¦ and what a dream come true it was to later receive a second cover with @sharewhealthwellness magazine. š
Whatās even crazier to me is realizing Iāve now been published over 14 times ā nationally, internationally, and locally. To think my story, my face, and my work somehow ended up in the hands of powerful people like Daymond John still blows my mind.
And the beautiful part? None of this was done with a PR company. No machine behind me. Just faith, consistency, community, long nights, sacrifice, showing up even when nobody was watchingā¦ and a vision bigger than my circumstances.
Sometimes I sit back and thinkā¦ if someone were reading my life now as a bedtime story to the little girl version of me, she probably wouldnāt believe any of it.
The magazine covers.
50 TV appearances.
The city and state citations.
The global awards.
The local awards.
The national and international billboards.
The people whose lives Iāve touched just by walking in purpose.
Itās a reminder that anything is possible. Truly. Your mind is powerful. What you continuously see for yourself, speak over yourself, and work toward can absolutely become real.
Happy Wednesday. š

Six years as I stand on my balcony on this Tuesday afternoon looking over the city to reflect all I can think is wowā¦
Two City Council citations.
A citation from Governor Josh Shapiro.
And nowā¦ a citation from the Commissioner.
What an honor.
To create something bigger than I ever imagined in the wellness communityā¦ something people look forward to year after yearā¦ has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life.
For the past six years, National Workout Day has been about one thing: making wellness accessible to the community. Creating spaces where people feel seen, inspired, empowered, and connected.
When I first started National Workout Dayā¦ this was exactly what I envisioned. And watching it grow into what it is today has been surreal.
Thank you to every partner, sponsor, trainer, volunteer, vendor, run club, and community member who has been part of this journey since day one.
Special thank you to @iamdaniellemassi for my initial push to think bigger and for helping me shape the structure behind this event.
And to my partner in crime @coachcasey24fit thank you for every late night, every stressful moment, every brainstorm session, and every sacrifice made alongside the We Do Transformations team to bring this vision to life.
This is bigger than fitness.
This is community.
This is impact.
And weāre just getting started. š¤

This weekend reminded me that itās okay to pause.
Okay to rest.
Okay to reset. ā¤ļø
After pouring so much into National Workout Day and the community, I finally allowed myself a moment to just be stillā¦ to breatheā¦ to receive.
I was deeply honored to be recognized as a Wellness Leader Award recipient and sit on a panel surrounded by powerful conversations about healing, growth, motherhood, and breaking cycles. Moments like this remind me that wellness isnāt only movement itās restoration too.
Sometimes strength looks like showing up for everyone.
Sometimes strength looks like resting.
And this weekend, I chose rest. šæ
Happy Motherās Day to the women becoming. š¤
To the women preparing quietlyā¦
the women trusting timingā¦
the women healingā¦
the women learning their bodies againā¦
the women praying for āone dayā while still trying to stay present todayā¦
I see you.
This journey of freezing my eggs has stretched me emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally in ways I never expected, but it also brought me back to myself. Back to softness. Back to intention. Back to God. Back to caring for myself beyond survival mode.
For seven months Iāve been preparing, not pressured. And tonight, I shared a piece of that journey for any woman who may feel alone in hers.
Thank you @mainlinefertility for walking with me through this chapter with so much care. š¤
Part 2 ā Prepared, Not Pressured.
