The dream
Her dream and commitment go all the way back to high school when Destiny found her passion for track and field before joining the Army. Destiny grew up in a Black community, where health is a concern due to poor eating and dietary habits. Destiny herself agrees that her life was not any different, added to the violent life she underwent. All these issues have, over time, influenced her decision and zeal to develop fitness and good health programs to help the people around her.
