Ep. 0005: Side Eyes, Sexual Liberation + BoPo Conversation Fatigue with Roz the Diva
Some might call Roz "The Diva" Mays an anomaly in an industry that tends to cater to smaller framed people but she is a firecracker that stands out in the crowd. Roz Mays is an AFAA, X-Pert and NASM certified personal trainer and pole dancer. Her accolades extend beyond America's Got Talent or seeing her on some of your favorite shows like The Big C as a stunt double, Law and Order and countless other places on television. Despite pole dancing being her sport of choice, her TRX, strength, conditioning and flexibility inspires people around the world.
On this episode Latoya Shauntay Snell and Roz Mays explore the different layers of being plus size athletes in the fitness and wellness space and get a bit shady about the body positive conversations that they tend to get attached to in mainstream media. Throughout this episode, you will hear conversations about body types, lightly brush on eating disorders, confidence, size diversity and harassment in the online space.
There is plenty of room for laughs, cackling, maybe a bit of tears as you relate to many areas and exploration through some difficult layers that many people tend to keep to themselves. Pour yourself a glass of wine or keep a great deal of water on standby with your favorite meal as we welcome you to our figurative living room.
