Facebook groups can be great to connect people, share ideas, and even encourage our fitness journeys, but they aren't perfect simply because they're made up of humans who are, well, imperfect. Today, Gabi talks with Melissa McLeod and Shanique Allen. The three came to know each other after being part of the same fitness community FB group. They discuss how some spaces that are meant to be inclusive are actually not, and how Black people have to create their own communities where they can openly share and be authentic.
