In Episode 45, I speak with Tia Hogue, a powerlifter, online coach & fitness influencer. She is from Redlands now residing in the Los Angeles area. 

Tia begins by telling us her experience being a student athlete. The challenges that comes with and the perks she got as well. We talk about what it is like being a student of color navigating a predominantly white institution. 

Then, we get into how Tia got into powerlifting. She highlights what it’s done for her and the impact that the powerlifting community has had on her. 

She tells us more about her competition at nationals this year, what her goals are as a powerlifter and how finding the right coach was a huge step towards her success. It was a great episode! Make sure to listen to it.
