Nina J.

I have always had a passion for health. I wanted to be a physicians assistant when I grew up however, life happens and my journey as a public health professional began. A great majority of my professional life has been in community health providing prevention education to diverse populations in untraditional settings on various topics such as; HIV/AIDS, STDS, Ebola and Zika. It was no accident that eventually my love for health impacted my personal life and led me on my personal journey of health and fitness. Along this journey, I struggled to identify with the health industries standards of health and fitness, not only in content but also in representation. The women featured in major health and fitness magazines didn't look like me nor did they share some of my unique struggles. This was the impetus for NinaWerks. I wanted to create a space where women of color could gain access to information on health and fitness that is culturally relevant. My hope is to bring fun, engaging, and educational information that covers everything I love from fitness, fashion, to music!
