Free Flo Fit

Four Degrees to the Streets

Happy Black History Month! Places and spaces that are accessible for people to be physically active directly impact health, wellness, and quality of life, as discussed in our last episode, where we used the Atlanta Beltline as a case study. This week, the hosts are joined by the founders of Free Flo Fit, Shontia Walton and Adaeze Medani, a non-profit organization making health and fitness more affordable, inclusive, and accessible for the minority community. Based in Seattle, WA, Shontia and Adaeze share their expertise on fitness and physical fitness challenges in public spaces for Black residents. Press play to hear:

• A breakdown of health data on the leading cause of death by race
• The story of how Free Flo Fit became an organization and its impact on the community
• Reflections from Free Flo Fit founders and hosts on the “why” behind their fitness journey

Thank you for listening and tune in every other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.
