What's going on everyone? Welcome back to Embody Radio. So a lot has happened since my last

upload with the positively tragic murder of George Floyd and the social justice crisis that has come to the forefront.

You know, we truly are at a turning point in history and when I took a pause from posting on my Instagram for a week as we amplified

career paths within that field that, you know, speak to you, but you're like,

the field of exercise science, and her experience as a black woman in the fitness industry and specifically

within academia.
