Karen Beber and her daughter asked the question, "Are we being held back by our gender when we write in a non-social context (emails, cover letters, inter-office memos, etc.)." This Key Biscayne mother-daughter duo took on a journey that led them to start Writebyme.io. A powerful free online tool that will help empower your writing and removes the likelihood of implicit gender bias. Join us to learn how it started and what they do!

Today we talk to Vince Smith and DeCue King, co-founders of Key Biscayne Fitness. Get to know how they met, how they started KB Fitness, and what they offer. 

DeCue King is a certified fitness trainer with a background in boxing, karate, and football. He has obtained a personal training certification from the world fitness association and a level 1 + 2 boxing certification from Box and Burn academy. DeCue has over ten years of personal training experience, working with everyone from beginners to professional athletes. DeCue specializes in boxing, weight loss, and youth athletic development. 

Vince Smith has been into sports and fitness for most of my life. He loves working out but didn't realize it was his true passion until COVID-19 happened, and Vince started training his sister via zoom; she lost 30 lbs. That's when it clicked, and he said, "this is what I'm meant to do." It brings him so much joy to help others become a better version of themselves inside and out.
