Summary

Our special guest today is creating a movement by increasing black female representation in the fitness world. Sonja R. Price Herbert is a writer, speaker, Pilates instructor and the founder of Black Girl Pilates, and she shares the unique challenges she’s faced as well as how she’s changing the conversation around representation. Sonja is also starting to compete in powerlifting (as she turns 50!) and she discusses how she was able to find her true inner “bad ass” and evolve in the last few years. This woman is so inspiring, and we hope you enjoy what she talks about in this episode as much as we did! Do you want 2019 to be a year of tremendous growth, support, and miracles for you and your business? Are you an established entrepreneur who identifies as female with a track-record of consistent customers, clear offerings, and consistent revenue? We’re excited to announce that Kate has created a high-level paid mastermind that you could be the perfect fit for! For more details and how to apply visit https://origincollective.com/incubator/.
