🗣️Thank you to Nate for having me on the Coach Vision #Podcast
To fellow coaches and #fitness pros: Our lived experiences aren’t just valid—they’re vital. They help us build inclusive spaces, challenge #racism and #misogyny, and drive #health equity in our industry and communities💪🏾
📣These conversations aren’t always easy—but they’re always necessary. And they’re worth it

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?
Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.
All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.
Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).
Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).
The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Your voice matters—use it before they silence others. History reminds us: when one group is dehumanized, others are never far behind.

A deeply personal share.
I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.
Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.
Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

📣Our humanity is not negotiable.
🇺🇸🇩🇴 I want to share a quote I reflect on daily. It’s from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it feels more urgent than ever:
🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America,” Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🚨Apathy is a luxury we cannot afford.

"... the amendments that were made to the Equal Pay Act in 2020 made a real, tangible difference to women and women's pay. We had 13 successful pay equity claims that went through, and those women saw a huge difference. In some cases, up to 30%+ changes to their pay.
Today we've seen a huge step backwards, and we need to create a better world for our daughters and our granddaughters."
