Learnings:
Planning for solid execution is imperative. Not only as we grow as a non-profit, but for the best experience for those we serve.
Opportunities:
I'm looking forward to collaborating and networking more with others within the community and Amplify.

Throughout the years, I have been volunteering as a doula, not knowing that’s what I was doing. After witnessing and experiencing some challenges over the last few years, I’ve become more involved as a doula and learned how significant they were and still are in our communities. Becoming certified through Dona International

and helping mamas with their birthing journey are just a few examples of things to come.
I am currently working with a mom who is due in August and another in November.

I would LOVE to create a healthy, happy relationship with the African American community and the fitness world. I want individuals and families to feel comfortable, confident and respected in any and every space where fitness is involved. I aspire to do my part in lowering health disparities by providing the knowledge and resources to individuals who otherwise wouldn't have access.

I dream of creating a sustainable business, with a foundation rooted in faith and holistic wellness. One that is designed to support, empower and transform the lives of everyone within it's sphere.
I want to celebrate the unity and connection of strong mamas who have the tools, resources and intrinsic desire to not only thrive, but to truly create a legacy.

I would like to celebrate the lowering of Black infant deaths in Wisconsin. Black infants die at a higher rate in Wisconsin than in any other state in the nation. The death rate for Black mothers is nearly three times as high as for white women.

I would like to make a difference in those numbers by serving my community as a doula.
