POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I really needed a moment to reflect on this past weekend at Summer Shred and how much this community truly means to me. 🫶🏾

Every year, City Shred reminds me that this is about so much more than fitness. It’s about the people, the connections, and the power of showing up for one another. The positive energy and support that fills this space is something truly special, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to contribute, connect, and celebrate the people around me.

Helping behind the scenes, supporting the team, bringing everything together, cheering on friends and loved ones, and being part of the @brooksrunningca Sprint Challenge reminded me that the magic of an event isn’t just what happens on the turf. It’s found in the connections made, the friendships built, and the moments where people feel supported and celebrated.

Watching people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and experiences come together with so much energy and positivity is what makes this family so special. Everyone shows up with their own story, journey, and goals, and every step forward deserves to be recognized.

One thing I appreciate most about this community is the commitment to creating a space where representation and inclusion truly matter. As a plus-size runner and Tamil woman, seeing people from different backgrounds and journeys represented in fitness spaces means so much. It’s a reminder that movement, strength, and wellness are for everyone. They continue to show that there is no one way to be an athlete. Strength comes in every form, and everyone deserves a space where they can challenge themselves, grow, and feel celebrated.

A special shoutout for my City Shred fams @prcheryl and @mjovanoski. The true love, passion, and energy you pour into this community do not go unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to create spaces where people can show up, challenge themselves, celebrate each other, and experience the power of community. I’m so grateful to be part of something you’ve built with so much love and authentic energy.

I am grateful for these moments, these connections, and all the memories still to come with my family❤️ #cityshred #cancerfighter #onecommunity #lifeathlete

✨ Today, we gathered @clubenhergy 🤍⚡️ to honour the life and legacy of our beautiful friend, sister and fitness coach @bodiedbyq 🩷🕊️, who left us far too soon on January 1st. It feels surreal to celebrate her life while grappling with the bittersweet nature of her absence.

This fitness class was a blend of step aerobics and the vibrant dance rhythms of Soca, a true reflection of Queenie’s spirit 🦋✨ From the moment I stepped into Club Enhergy five years ago, Queenie was the first friend I made. Our journey began in a step class, and little did I know that it would lead to a beautiful friendship filled with laughter, love, support and positivity.

There were smiles, tears, and a profound sense of unity as we celebrated her life. Queenie was our Soca queen 🇬🇾 👑 and her vibrant spirit will forever live on in our hearts. To Queenie’s beautiful Mom Vanetta 💖 we love you Mama Dukes! Holding you close in our thoughts and prayers 💖

This past Monday at Winter @city_shred 2026 reminded me why this community is so much more than fitness or running to me. It’s about connection, encouragement, and showing up exactly as you are while growing stronger together on and off the turf while spreading authentic and positive energy.

Being part of this family for the past 2 years has been a source of strength, healing, and belonging through some of the hardest chapters of my life with my ongoing cancer and mental health battles. Even though I wasn’t able to take part in the workouts this year, helping with pre/post event tasks and being there to support my community reminded me that being a life athlete isn’t about personal records. It’s about showing up with heart, lifting and cheering each other up, and contributing to a space that inspires growth, connection, and joy.

Being able to share these moments with my @chixrunthe6ix fam and run community, who constantly inspire me and brighten my soul, reminds me that movement is so much more than a workout. For me, it’s about connection, healing, growth, and cheering each other on while learning to believe in myself along the way. These are the people who make my journey what it is, and I’m so grateful to celebrate the energy, love, and encouragement they bring every day.

There have been seasons where I wondered if I belonged in spaces like this as a plus size athlete and a Tamil woman, but every time I step onto the turf, I’m reminded why events like this matter. They show that strength, courage, and growth come in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds and that seeing yourself represented truly matters.

Shout out to my family @prcheryl and @mjovanoski for continuing to create spaces filled with purpose, love, and belonging. Thank you for welcoming me as I am, supporting me through every season, and building a community where souls like mine feel safe to show up fully. I am deeply thankful to be part of this family.

Here’s to more memories, continued growth, and supporting each other through every adventure still to come this year. Together, we rise 💪🏾🫶🏿❤️

Thank you to this extraordinary group of women who showed up with love, strength, and unity to make Quenessa’s home going service a success. Ladies, I truly could not have done this without you. Quenessa stood firmly for female empowerment and representation, and witnessing women come together in her honor was incredibly meaningful. This is the spirit of Alore.😘❤️🙏🏾. Fly high Queen. Rest in Sweet Eternal Peace 🕊️🙏🏾

We lost a real one. RIP Queenie

Grateful to have experienced her light, passion, fiercness, boldness, and love for life.

Queenie supported my nonprofit @ndctrades as a mentor and volunteer. She was on her journey to becoming an electrician and was always willing to support our efforts of trades education for our community.

Anytime I saw her, it was all love. Her smile and genuine good energy was always felt.

My heart goes out to her amazing mother, brothers and whole family. To loose such a bright light is heart wrenching.

Grief has become a welcomed friend. To grieve means to have loved deeply and wholeheartedly. To grieve is to remember that love and carry it with you until you meet again.
