24 | Elevating Marginalized Voices Through Strength Training with Maria Rodriguez
Today, we’re talking to Maria Rodriguez, founder of Fear Her Fight Athletics, a company that reinforces the lense of intersectional feminism in the strength space. Maria is a competitive powerlifter and a strength and conditioning coach based in Tacoma Washington.
She coaches individuals remotely on a sliding scale and personal trains all levels. She aims to make training more accessible for the LGBTQ+ community at her gym and offers an inclusive space on Friday nights to lift. Her work is deeply rooted in her community and uses her skills to elevate access to wellness for those around her.
On June 1-2 2019, Maria is hosting the second annual Womxns Strength Summit. The Womxns Strength Summit is a weekend where we can explore the monumental power of what it means to be strong. Register for the Womxns Strength Summit here.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Making the strength space inclusive, safe, and accessible for all womxn.
- Creating opportunities for marginalized communities.
- Facing discrimination as a WOC yoga instructor.
- Building confidence and mental toughness from fitness.
