I'm Neshia with Slim Fit Meals. A company started in January 2020 that provides healthy meal prep delivery in the DMV area. I am a Zumba instructor and a mom as well. Even though I practically lived in the gym I noticed my body wasn’t really changing very much. And as a busy mom I kept eating on the go which equated to a lot of unhealthy habits. So I started to understand that I needed to eat right along with the gym to see real results as they do go hand in hand. Not only eat right but eat meals, breakfast lunch & dinner. I also saw a need for a few people who came to my classes that weren’t seeing the results they wanted as well so I used my culinary background & incorporated my two loves, food & Zumba/fitness.

As a podcast host, she uses her unabashed authenticity to encourage women to not overlook their wins trying to keep up with the "IG mom" stereotype. I surround myself with people who bring happiness with them wherever they go and those who have, like myself, quit trying to make everything perfect and just let life happen.
