Flying with Ernestine Shepard

I was honored to meet Ernestine Shepard Saturday night during the Black Girls Run Honors dinner. For those of you who have never heard of Ernestine, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Seriously, she is a 75 year old body builder. She did push-ups in heels during her talk. She started working out in her late 50s. She is simply amazing. I feel that I have a great start to being just as fabulous when I get her age. 

The main focus of her speech was to not let others determine who you become. She also let us know that she did not get her body by accident. She is determined, dedicated, and many more strong words. 

She is such an inspiration to many. I am so glad I met her. Now I know how it feels to look up to someone. I will take my role as a leader much more serious.
