My name is Yaya Tshuma, and I am a South African/ Zimbabwean native who has come a long way in my personal and professional journey. At 26 years old, I have achieved significant milestones in the realms of sports and education. Having excelled in field hockey and track and field, I was fortunate enough to earn a track and field scholarship in the United States back in 2017. This opportunity not only broadened my horizons but also laid the foundation for my relentless pursuit of success.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in business administration, which I followed up with a master’s in business. While I initially embarked on a corporate career, something within me felt unfulfilled. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for fitness, igniting a transformative journey that would shape my entire life.

Overcoming the challenges of being bullied in high school and grappling with depression, fitness became my refuge and catalyst for self-discovery. Today, I am proud to say that my fitness journey has been instrumental in instilling self-love and acceptance. My approach to fitness is not just about achieving the perfect body; it goes beyond that. It is about embracing self-discovery, cultivating discipline, and nourishing both the body and mind.
