It is time for a rebirth. Welcome to the full thrust of spring and episode 5 of She Been Ready! The Podcast.  I am quite pleased to have Ife Obi, Founder and Owner of The Fit In Brooklyn join me today.  The Fit In is described as a wellness suite that provides a boutique fitness experience and thoughtfully-developed wellness programming to be a truly inclusive space.

The Root online magazine rightly states that The Fit In is “diversifying fitness in gentrified Brooklyn”. With locations in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn on familiar haunts like Malcolm X Blvd., Marcus Garvey, and Halsey, Ife began making the yoga, pilates, and core building fitness and wellness practices enjoyed by a white wellness industrial complex available to the historically Black Bedford Stuyvesant community available in color just as the community was “changing” or becoming aggressively gentrified.

Her work and movement has been featured in outlets such as Good Morning America, The Fit Bit Blog, Health, Refinery 29, Forbes, BET.com and even Beyoncé, to name a few.

It’s kinda of how you know you made it!

Listen in to this amazing conversation about wellness, fitness, health, and leadership and how, at least for Ife (and I agree) designing spaces from the inclusion perspective of Black women, may be just what is needed for EVERYONE to feel welcome.
