Iisha hopes that you will allow her to share her gift and knowledge with you. She had this to say,
“Honestly, I just want to inspire and help people. My life is not my own but my choices are. With having a stroke so young and then pairing that experience with the knowledge I have amassed over the years; we all are more similar than we think. Someone tears their rotator cuff, they are working to get their range of motion and strength back, same with a stroke survivor or someone with brachialis syndrome.” That’s even more reason to believe that fitness is for everybody!
