In episode 34 I interviewed Nadege NDjeBayi. Nadege is a fitness entrepreneur and the first Black woman to own a gym in Downtown LA. Originally, from Paris France, Nadege underwent a drastic transformation when on January 20th 2018 she had a very bad car accident that locked her lower back and caused her to become bedridden. After gaining 40 pounds and losing confidence she decided to make a change. Through intense pain, she competed in fitness competitions in France and won 5th place after just one month of preparing.  After working for several years thereafter as a celebrity fitness trainer in Paris, Nadege applied for the “Diversity Immigrant VISA” lottery, granting her the opportunity to move to Los Angeles, where she now resides.
