Today we’d like to introduce you to Kyjione King.
Kyjione, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was inspired by taking a class myself for weight loss, I use to weight 223lbs at the time and seen how it was such a fun workout and even the warmups were dynamic. I pushed and pushed, even my children encouraged me to do so as they Pole and do Aerial as well, and we offer Mommy and Me classes. I had gone through a horrible divorce and I needed to find myself again. I completely lost who I was and once I began taking these classes, I felt undefeated and seen a total transformation of myself. I was so amazed and ever since then it’s been constant self-motivation and determination.
I have been poling for about 5 years. 3 as in my own studio and 2 in my home. I also started classes within my front room, to my garage, to sharing a building with someone to being in my own building now.
It is imperative that I inspire others because as women we just don’t give ourselves and other women enough credit. You have to celebrate the Micro wins to understand your Macro wins. I want all women to feel beautiful, powerful, and strong without the help of others. I want it to come naturally. The more and more I continue and further my education on Pole and Aerial; I am able to help women with depression as they now have a new outlet. Stressed from home, job, kids, husband? Kiki Dance Studio can help you.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Ha! In fact, it has been very challenging. I must say being a Black Woman owning a Pole and Aerial Studio can be so misunderstood in the south. Women can’t be themselves and own their sexuality! I was placed in this community to change the way others view other Strong, Alpha women. We are located in Arkansas so we fight a lot with religion. When dance and religion does not go hand in hand. It’s been a fight to educate them on exactly what our brand stands for! We will have been standing for 5 years next year of March!
We’d love to hear more about your business.
