“Coach Val” is on a mission to create a fitness and well-being movement in her community and beyond. She had gone from a six-figure income to no income and had depleted her resources. After connecting with the Minneapolis Urban League, she partnered to host classes there to passersbys. Classes began filling up and community leaders she met with recommended that Val apply for grants and local funding to subsidize her programs. She expanded her offerings to other community centers and parks and today has a vibrant business and so much to celebrate.
