About Womanly
​
Work ethic, Open communication, Mental toughness, Assertiveness, Nourishment, Love, and Yield (W.O.M.A.N.L.Y) is a virtual platform that offers free fitness classes, plant-based meal plans, plant-based recipes, and various educational materials. It was born out of the firm belief that women have the right to know how to keep their minds and bodies healthy. Unfortunately, this isn't a highlight of the U.S. education system, so many women's beliefs about how to stay healthy are based on myths, misconceptions, hunches, and falsehoods. Here at W.O.M.A.N.L.Y., we affirm that the journey to good health begins with education.
Mission: WOMANLY aims to teach women, especially women of color, how to build healthy habits so they can improve their mental and physical health, grow their self-confidence, and learn to love self-care.
Vision: We envision a society in which women feel confident in their ability to maintain physical fitness, comfortable expressing themselves honestly, and beautiful both inside and out.

Brianna’s passion for fitness began with her dance experience. After training and dancing competitively for 12 years, she gained collegiate and then professional experience via the University of Virginia and Los Angeles Clippers dance teams. The intense physical demand and self-exploration that dance requires (as a sport that’s also an art form), exposed Brianna to the empowering qualities found in being both physically and mentally fit. Determined to gain back this power, Brianna was able to get back into shape after giving birth to her babies in 2019 and 2021. A Master of Social Work, Brianna is also academically motivated to improve women’s physical and, therefore, mental health. She’s worked with the Charlottesville Court Services Unit, Kidsave, University of Virginia’s Promoting Healthy Adolescent Development Lab, Georgetown University’s Culture and Emotion Lab, the Chesapeake Center for Youth Development, and Year Up.
