One of my favourite fitness influencers @Nathan shares inspirational black creators to follow
With all that’s happening in the world right now, it’s time to take on some new perspectives, and to grow & learn from each other. ⠀I’ve seen a few girls do this in the fitness space, and I thought it is a brilliant opportunity to introduce you to some of my favourite creators that I personally follow, and recommend you do the same if you don’t already! ⠀⠀⠀@kevinarnold: one of my best friends, a super creative person with a heart of gold. Not only is he super talented behind the camera, he is a badass stuntman, and would give the shirt off his back to make you more comfortable. ⠀⠀@karl_shakur: creates the most beautiful images, make sure to take on his feed as a whole to understand the thought that goes into his work.⠀⠀@obi_vincent: one of the hardest working guys I know, he inspires me to be more efficient in my training and my overall approach to life. ⠀⠀@brittnebabe: if ever the term “bossbabe” was needed it’s here. Britt has the incredible energy that is contagious. ⠀⠀@jovelroystan: talk about effortless style. Jovel just GETS it, and mixes his looks up effortlessly. I’m forever getting outfit inspiration here. ⠀⠀@lubomba: not only is he an absolute weapon of an athlete, he is a super create visionary too, always inspiring me to up my game. ⠀⠀@simply_geanette: and absolute ray of sunshine. I’ve had the pleasure of training with her, and seeing just how committed she is to getting better is incredible. ⠀⠀@theebillyporter: never ceases to make me smile. A true advocate for equality and being comfortable in your own skin. Billy loves life to the fullest, and does what the hell he wants, regardless of how people may judge. Be more like Billy. ⠀⠀@simeonpanda: one of the most humble, kind guys I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. A wealth of knowledge in the world of fitness, and he does a lot to inspire the next generation. ⠀⠀#blacklivesmatter June 6, 2020

This time you can tap between the OG 2017 Pride Sticker and the new one 🏳️🌈✨ I wanted to push the design further by creating a powerful pose inspired by queer culture and ballroom competitions, the dip. I hope, especially during this time, as a POC character you will use it to celebrate black lives, especially those within our queer community who need representing 🏳️🌈 Find they/them in the sticker tray now!!! 👆👆
