  • How did you become part of MYB?
    I was following the page for a while. I wanted to find a group to run with because I thought it would be a cool thing to do, so I came out to the NOTC anniversary race and it was the best decision I could have made! 
  • When did you start walking/running?
    I got serious after Katrina in early 2006 to unstress while renovating my house.  I did run prior to 2006 but not consistently. I've always went to the gym but running got me more into fitness in general.

  • How did you become part of MYB?
    Crescent Park is one of my favorite places to go in NOLA.  I love the view of the city & the beauty of nature. I had seen a sign promoting Move Ya Brass & decided that I was going to attend one Tuesday and ever since then I've been connected to the class. Now here I am- a MYB member!

    I found MYB on Instagram and I immediately was drawn to the story of its inception.

    I went out for Cross Country in HS after, no kidding, I watched Forrest Gump for the first time and I thought, I could do that.  I happened to be pretty good.

    In the form of a liquid diet, nothing beats a cold, well earned beer, or two.

  • How did you become part of MYB?
    I first saw the "Move ya Brass" tank and I wanted one!! I didn't know it was a running krewe until I searched the internet to try to find that tank! It still took me a few months before I made it out to run though, but after talking my friend Elwin into going with me for the MYB Jazzfest run on a Saturday last year, I fell in love with the people!! 
  • When did you start walking/running? 
    About 4 years ago I started running because I wanted to lose weight! 
    I fell in love with sport! It's been 2 years now that I have made it a big part of my life, and this past year I have completed 24 races, one of those races being a half marathon! 
  • What is your favorite post race/cheat meal? 
    BEER! And more beer! Running and races is the reason I drink beer. I actually used to just hold one after races! I would never drink them bc I didn't like the taste! But last March that all changed and now I can't think of doing a race without having a beer after!! 
  • If you could have one super power what would it be and why? 
    I would love to have the power to read people's minds bc I want to know what people are really thinking. 
  • If you could run with any celebrity who would you choose and why? 
    That's a hard question ... I am not a celebrity stalker and I would probably feel weird running with someone I didn't know, but if I had to choose I guess I would run with Kevin Hart? He is super funny and I love to laugh and have fun!! Plus he loves to dance and I do too!!
