Kira West (Instagram Live: Monday, Nov. 16th @ 5:15pm EST)

Kira West is a content creator and community cultivator whose passion is making wellness inclusive. Kira is a proud Black woman with Caribbean roots born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.

Her journey into wellness began with an adventurous spirit and an insatiable desire to travel. Kira was determined to find all of the opportunities she could to experience the world. Her fearless spirit allowed her to travel the world, exploring 6 continents and over 40 countries, often solo. Kira's love of travel influenced her desire to investigate ways to seek balance in her life and live most optimally. Her journey to seek and define balance was intertwined with Kira's desire to define for herself the meaning of wellness. Her experience led her to focus on not only travel but fitness and running. These then became the elements that defined Kira's idea of wellness.

Kira asked herself the question, what does a "well" life really look like. As she searched for these answers she found that it is truly different for everyone but it can include fitness, travel, varying forms of self-care, relationships, friendships and new experiences. Kira found that her personal definition of wellness included travel and fitness. Kira, upon defining these elements, also found that often Black and other underserved communities were not included in conversations surrounding wellness, travel or fitness. As Kira began to delve into the lack of diversity and inclusion within the wellness space, she became even more passionate about making wellness inclusive for all. She wants to empower people to seek their own definitions of wellness while also making the space more inclusive. She firmly believes wellness is a right for all and not an exclusive privilege for some. Kira has been featured in multiple publications such as Yahoo!, Insider and E! for her contributions to change within the wellness industry. Most recently, she was featured in the September 2020 cover story for SELF Magazine where she discussed "What It Means to Be Black in Fitness."
