Does Black listing happen in the Fitness Industry?
Over the years, I've worked so hard to build the Mr. Come On Somebody brand and I started as a lil country boy that no one knew from Mobile, Alabama but I had a desire to build confidence in others and positivly inspire the world π. With all this being said, I've had the opportunity to be featured in magazines publications, travel locally, nationally, and internationally πΊοΈ presenting dance fitness, my greatest passion. I recently inquired to be apart of a Fitness Convention in Texas and the CEO π©βπΌ advised me that the convention would be too small of a venue for someone of my magnitude and that they are a very small venue and don't seek out International Presenters. She continued to say that their event would definitely not be a good experience for me and that I would be very unhappy. π
Reading π her message was cringing π¬ because I never met this individual in my life and she didn't know me well enough to say if I would enjoy the experience or not. Local fitness influencers advised her that I would be a great complement but she decided to black list me due to her own insecurities and prejudices.
With all this being said, I choose to continue to smile π, love of God's children, build confidence, and enjoy βΊοΈ the one βοΈ life I've been blessed π₯Ή with! God will intentionally allow a door πͺ to close so that you can walk into the RIGHT room in which your beautiful π€© light π‘π will be recognized and appreciated. Black listing is a reality in this industry but it doesn't take away from your greatness. So keep shining bright family! Love β€οΈ you!
