FIT4MOM Values
At FIT4MOM Fort Worth, we’ve always prided ourselves in providing a welcoming environment for moms in Fort Worth. However, the important and necessary racial reckoning over the last few years encouraged us to further examine our values, like Inclusivity and Belonging. We’ve been asking ourselves some honest questions: Do these values stand true in our business for those historically and repeatedly marginalized or only for those who already fit in? Is our community a safe place for those who feel othered in fitness spaces or mom gatherings? How have we allowed neutrality to take priority over inclusivity? What are we willing to do or not do in order to build an inclusive culture?
It became clear that we needed to invest time, money, and energy to make important, sustainable changes. With the help of Equity Coach, Dr. Sharla Horton-Williams, we are on a journey toward building a Village that reflects our FIT4MOM values through and through.
We are committed to this process in all of its messiness and discomfort. Thank you for your patience and grace as we work toward making our community a better place, one small step at a time.
In motherhood,
Becca and Sarah
