On this week's episode of OFF THE STRENGTH, we return with a refreshing cross-continental conversation with the founder of the Noire Fitness Festival Lorraine Russel discussing how her fitness origins run in the family, the importance and need for better health across the diaspora, how to make essential connections from Brixton to Brooklyn,

What she learned from bodybuilding competitions, waffling about on the wrong beat in a cycling class,  why we need more nepotism in fitness, holding brands that use our culture accountable beyond black history month (UK honors black history month in October),

Why she started the Noire Fitness Festival, what she learned from hosting a festival during the lockdown,  what Kyle and Tony will do to be a part of the upcoming festivities, why bike thieves need to get sorted, and so much more!   

"Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men."
- Marcus Garvey
