On August 17, 2016, I embarked on an uncensored exploration of fitness and food through my blog, Running Fat Chef ®. As a sponsored multisport athlete, I aimed to redefine athleticism as a Black, queer, chronically ill, and plus-size adventurer. The blog became a canvas for sharing the unfiltered highs and lows of my athletic journey, while sparking essential conversations on marginalization and intersectionality.The fire ignited in those discussions fueled my commitment to transcend social media's confines and become an enduring online resource. In 2020, I expanded Running Fat Chef, introducing a line of clothing, accessories, and stickers. Further, I ventured into virtual courses, empowering others to assert boundaries and amplify their voices as athletes at all levels.Looking ahead, my vision extends into 2023-2024, where I'm set to unveil new boundary-setting courses, innovative products, tantalizing recipes, and immersive online and in-person seminars. The journey continues, and the possibilities are boundless.
