Mini Grant SenseMaker Project Story or Micro-Narrative

• Grant Project: One Jazzy Fit Mom
• Description: Support for business start up
• Role: I received a mini grant for an idea I had
• Date submitted: 2021-02-19 12:00

With the funds that I was able to receive from the mini grant, I purchased some resistance bands to use with my online Zoom class because of the whole pandemic restrictions at the time. The bands that I had left over, I was actually able to use those and give them to the ladies that were present in a fitness class that I was able to co-teach at a dance studio that’s located in Riviera Beach. I started attending there a couple of months ago, just to network with other women, to put myself more out there, let people know what it is that I do, so when I do have upcoming events, people already have a sense of who I am and what I am all about. So, I was able to give the ladies the bands that were not used for the class and it was an awesome time.
