Episode Synopsis

Former kindergarten teacher Tay Milburn moved from Houston to NYC in 2019 seeking a new path but soon faced the pandemic and multiple surgeries for a tumor. Turning to Pilates for healing, she encountered racial biases, including being asked to stop using #BlackGirlPilates. Undeterred, she founded Fringe Pilates, an inclusive studio with classes taught by women of color, fostering community and belonging. In this episode, we discuss her journey overcoming health challenges and industry biases to build an empowering, diverse community.
