Fly Girlz Brunch #2: "Black Women and the body: Size Matters?"
Event Information
Description
The session will be led by Kelechi Okafor. Kelechi is a personal trainer with a great passion for the fitness. Sport and fitness have been a part of her life for years, and she successfully runs it alongside her professional acting career. Through training clients and through her acting work, she has come to know and understand bodies and society's views regarding the bodies of Women of Colour. It then became a fully fledged mission to assist WOC with loving their bodies according to their own ideals. There is no "one size fits all" rule when it comes to the body and fitness, so it's important to determine our own rules. This way, the body that you desire will be the one you inhabit.
