Today we’d like to introduce you to Faith Manning.
Hi Faith, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I’m Faith “Juicy Fit” Manning, aspiring plus-size fashion and fitness influencer. During the beginning of the pandemic, I gained an excessive amount of weight started feeling slow and sluggish and decided I need to get in better shape. At first, I was going to join a gym. But I realized I was lying to myself because I absolutely hate the gym and knew I couldn’t be consistent. So, I had to ask myself “what do you like to do?” I love line dancing so I stared learning new dances for cardio, twerking, and lifting weights. I posted videos on my personal social media, and at the urging of several friends, I started my fitness page BBWs Workout on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. There I share my workouts, create fitness challenges, choreograph lines dances, and create low-impact exercise routines for other plus-size people.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has been mostly fun, but there are some challenges. The biggest challenge is finding the time to create quality content and finding in-person spaces to teach my classes.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m absolutely willing and available to teach line dance classes in person for events and parties. I’m also very much into fashion and like to help other plus size women find their fashion style. I’m also available for fashion and fitness collaborations. For full time work I am a music teacher and I play the piano and pipe organ.
What’s next?
I plan to be a plus-size brand ambassador and fitness influencer. I want to eventually start an affordable trendy athleisure wear clothing line for plus-size bodies.
