Episode 2: ----Beauty Trap---- -With Guest Lita Lewis

In 2016, I worked with Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign in an initiative to decrease childhood obesity throughout the public school system. Through my works, I gained a sense of awareness that surpassed the fitness realm. Over 85% of the young girls that I worked with developed a strong tendency to not get healthy, but workout for vanity purposes causing an automatic habit of comparing themselves to others. Those inundated with social media posts developed a psyche that was more harmful than good. Self-esteem and mental health issues skyrocketed and created a longterm negative effect on their thought process. Though my observations, I began to carve out my work to integrate not just fitness, but the totality of wellness. Through this, I founded my nonprofit, Beyond the Body Inc., in an attempt to help young women develop a sense of self-love. Most recently I partnered with a clothing brand, Beautiful In Every Shade, that debunks stereotypical ideologies of beauty. Well, today I will be interviewing a very special lady that I met throughout my work. My guest today is Lita Lewis, fitness influencer and philanthropist that teaches young women how to become the best version of themselves, whether skinny, or curvy frame. On this episode she will dive into her journey, overcoming obstacles, and triumphing into the woman that she is today.
