A short piece on the benefits of running for women of the African diaspora — Written by Maedean Myers

Hey 👋, my name is Aaron and I’m a movement coach. I’ve worked with thousands of people always with the goal to help them feel confident in their bodies, specifically building strength for the activities they enjoy or want to do in the future. Along this adventure of movement coaching, I founded an app called movr. movr is a word that promotes movement, but really it’s an invitation to explore a better way of experiencing your body, every day. When first chatting with Filsan and her mission with PLR, there was an immediate connection in shared beliefs and values:

Black Love / Self-Love - Written by Filsan Abdiaman

When I think about sexuality, I think about desire. About who I desire.

Do I allow my desire? Do I find myself desirable? I think about pleasure, about wanting. Do I allow myself to want?

“My Journey to Self-Love Through Running” written by Mel Greene

How do women form and cultivate diverse friendships in cities where diversity is lacking? How do I, a white womxn, meet Black, Indiginous and Womxn of Colour, and how do I do so in a way that adds value to their life and mine?

These are snapshots of a letter I wrote a friend and my parents telling them about a secret I was too embarrassed to share.

What do you get when you put together a few inspiring ladies, a leisurely run, a beautiful day, a delicious brunch, and a conversation about self-care?

An amazing Sunday morning! Coincidentally, it was my first time hosting Project Love Run in Edmonton.

In 2017 I lost my period. It didn’t bother me at first because I didn’t have to worry about the many “inconveniences” of having a period (like having to buy tampons or having any kind of PMS symptoms). I could do all the things I wanted unhindered. I figured, I would get it in a month or two, after all, I had an irregular period from a young age. So I paid it no attention and didn’t talk about it, instead I went about living my best life.
