Drop a comment to welcome them to our community,

First of all let me start this post by telling God “Thank You”. Today as i reflect on what I experienced during my oral dissertation defenses, I’m incredibly grateful and humbled to share that I have officially completed my oral dissertation defense and have been passed by my committee—confirming the completion of my PhD.

This milestone was never a solo journey. It was built on the guidance, support, encouragement, and belief of so many amazing people along the way. To my committee members, thank you for your mentorship, your time, your wisdom, and for challenging me to grow into a stronger scholar and person. Your support through every revision, question, and moment of doubt meant more than words can express.

To my family, friends, church family, clients, participants in the study, and everyone who stood beside me throughout this process—thank you for your patience, your motivation, your prayers, and your constant belief in me, even during the toughest stretches. This achievement is just as much yours as it is mine.

Reaching this final step has been both challenging and deeply rewarding, and I’m filled with gratitude for everyone who helped me cross the finish line. I’m excited for what comes next and committed to continuing this journey of learning, impact, and service.

Thank you all for being part of this chapter. 🎓

New episode out now—just in time for Father’s Day. Demarra West sits down with Coach Greg Wallace, founder of IATO Fitness, for a powerful talk on what it really means to be strong. Not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and intentionally. They talk healing, faith, trauma, and how honoring your body can be an act of liberation. Coach Wallace also supported Demarra’s own transformation. After nearly 20 years of health struggles, she released over 40 pounds, not through grind culture, but through care, self-love, and intention.

The thing (perceived problem) that breaks your heart, is the the thing (perceived problem) that you are here to solve.

It breaks my heart when I see people living unhealthy lives and dying prematurely from things that can be prevented by simply moving.

The American College of Sports Medicine has a website dedicated to exercise is medicine (https://www.exerciseismedicine.org/) to help mitigate anything that ails you. The answer to solving this problem is in us moving. If you have any questions or want to discuss how we can help, give me a call/text (269)888-4002. Please share this with a friend.
