great video. i forgot to mention that i currently work at a black owned advertising agency here in chicago and i can't wait until i share your story with my coworker's tomorrow. stay tuned...
I LOVE what you are doing. I am the owner of two fitness businesses: Fit in DC (www.fitindc.com) and The Hot Mama Fitness Studio (www.hotmamafitnessstudio.com)-which is the only fitness studio in the Washington DC area that specializes in pre- and post-natal fitness. I do have several, long-term African-American personal training clients through Fit in DC. However, I only have ONE client at The HMFS who is black. I have tried to reach out to African-American mothers, and have gotten no response. I have Asian, Hispanic, Brazilian clients but only one African-American client.
I know that this also crosses over into an issue that I have dedicated myself to-why African-American women do not exercise. This is an issue that I am addressing in my blog: http://blackgirlfitrevolution.blogspot.com/
Keep up the good work! I am glad that I was told about your blog.
