Today we’d like to introduce you to Raenesha Williams
Hi Raenesha, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My name is Raenesha and I was born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX. I moved to Chicago, IL to start my career after I graduated from Texas Woman’s University with a bachelors in Psychology.
While in Chicago, I took a pole dance lesson and immediately fell in love, marking the beginning of my pole dance journey! Along my journey I experienced the transformation pole dancing can bring to the mind and body as it not only improved my physical fitness and confidence in my femininity, but improved my mental health! As my love for pole dancing and mental health increases I decided to open up a pole dance studio called House Of Embodiment so that other women can have a safe space to explore and experience the same transformation in pole dance and that I did! My mission is to teach and show women how to not only love the body that God gave them, but to explore and be confident in their femininity, and taking care of their mental health!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been an easy road! Challenges included funding, life’s ups and downs, as well as judgement from becoming a pole dance hobbiest!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about House Of Embodiment?
