Big finale energy in the heart of Downtown D.C.

I had the honor of leading Powerhouse Pilates for the finale of the Fitness at Franklin summer series, and this experience was truly one of the highlights of my summer.

Throughout the season, talented instructors helped bring movement, wellness, and community into Franklin Park. It was beautiful to see fitness take center stage in the city and to be part of an experience that encouraged people to move, connect, and prioritize themselves.

Saturday felt like a true celebration. From the music and cold plunge to the community vendors, the energy on the mat, and the people gathering right in the heart of Downtown D.C., every part of the experience felt @jjet.music brought the vibes, and D.C. brought the power.

Thank you to everyone who came out, moved with me, encouraged me, and stayed afterward to connect, share kind words, visit my website, and learn more about Layers. Those moments meant more to me than you know.

A special thank-you to @brittdupreedaniels and @downtowndcbid for inviting me to be part of the series and trusting me to bring Powerhouse Pilates to Franklin Park.

Big S/O to @musicmauromir as well 🫶🏽

D.C., thank you for showing up. We built the powerhouse within—and the momentum is only getting stronger. ✨

🎥 @junsee.n 🫂 for capturing the moment!

💜💕 Join us as we Fight the Fight 💕💜
In honor of Breast Cancer + Domestic Violence Awareness, we’re coming together for movement, community, remembrance, and a greater purpose.

🗓 Saturday, October 17
⏰ 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
📍 WeFitDC at Sycamore & Oak
1110 Oak Dr SE, Washington, DC 20032

Please wear pink or purple in support. 💗💜

➡️ I’m also excited to have @tyibardc joining us with fresh cold-pressed juices — including a very special custom drink, Divine Rebel, created in honor of someone we lost to domestic violence. This isn’t just a drink; it’s another way we’re carrying her memory into a day centered on awareness, strength, and community.

🎈 Following class, we’ll have a balloon release honoring those we’ve lost, those still fighting, and those who have overcome breast cancer and domestic violence.

And this event goes beyond the workout — proceeds from ticket sales will go toward supporting survivors impacted by domestic violence and breast cancer. 🤍

Come move with us. Come support. Come honor.
Fight the Fight with us. 💗💜

What a beautiful morning of movement, reflection, connection, and community! 🧡💐

Today at our Harvest & Flow: Fall Into Your Next Season event, we came together for so much more than Pilates. We created space to reflect on the seasons of life we’re experiencing and the layers we’re continuing to grow through.

One thing I always say is that working out isn’t the first thing we do in my classes. I love creating safe spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves, sharing their personal experiences, connecting with others, and knowing they’re not alone in what they’re going through. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do and what keeps me going! 🥹🧡

We began our morning with a moment of reflection centered around two things:

🍂 Our Harvest: What are we celebrating, what have we overcome, and what are we proud of?

🌸 Our Flow: What are we ready to release as we enter our next season?

What I loved most was the vulnerability, the conversations, and seeing how many of us could relate to one another despite having different journeys.

From there, we transitioned into Pilates, followed by a beautiful floral workshop where we learned how to layer, arrange, wrap, and create our own bouquets! 💐 We enjoyed apple cider and donuts from @thegoodcompany shared laughs, learned new things, met new people, and watched new connections form.

A beautiful reminder that we can celebrate how far we’ve come while still learning to release the things that no longer serve us.

This is what Layers by Donice is all about. Creating safe spaces beyond fitness, where we can move, connect, have fun, learn from one another, and embrace every layer of ourselves.

Thank you to every woman who joined us, and a special thank you to @leesunionstation for having Layers by Donice, welcoming us into your beautiful space, and sharing your knowledge and passion for flowers with us! 🧡💐

What an Experience 🧡🤍💙

A huge thank you to @drnicolam and the entire @girlswhobrunchtour for welcoming me into such a beautiful and impactful space where young ladies can feel seen, heard, encouraged, and empowered!

It was truly an honor to pour into these beautiful young ladies through fitness, share a piece of my story about losing both of my parents, and remind them that no matter what life brings, they can continue to build through every layer of life.

Of course, we had to bring in one of my favorite activities, our compliment session! Reminding these young ladies of the importance of speaking life into themselves AND one another. 🫶🏽

Hearing the stories of the other panelists was just as inspiring. So many powerful women, different journeys, and so much wisdom shared in one space!

It was also such an honor to meet Dr. Ni’cola and witness firsthand what she continues to build, not just across the country, but internationally. The impact is REAL!

Thank you for creating such a beautiful space and allowing me to bring another layer of wellness into it.

Safe Spaces, Brave Faces. Built Through Every Layer. 🧡🤍💙

✨ EBONYFIT WEEKEND DC 2026 ✨

2️⃣classes. 2️⃣ different vibes. BOTH SOLD OUT. 😮‍💨💪🏽

Thank you to everybody who came out, from my city and everyone who traveled in from out of town. The energy in both rooms was everything! We worked, laughed, showed love, and BUILT another layer together. 🧡🤍💙

And I already know everybody’s favorite part was getting to throw the balls at me at the end and get a little revenge back 😂😂

I hope y’all enjoyed the fastest surgeon in the city because I gave everybody a six-pack in 45 minutes! 😂🔥

It was also special bringing this energy back to @wefitdc , a space I’m proud to still be part of and where Ebony Fit first started for me. Full-circle moments always hit different.

@ebonyfitweekend Thank you for trusting me to bring the energy. 💪🏽🔥

@junsee.n on the 🎥 as always 🧡🤍💙

If you see yourself in this recap, DM me and let me know so I can tag you in the post! I want you to have this memory with you forever. 🥹

Thank you for showing up, showing love, and bringing BIG energy. 🔥
