Dr. Aisha Baron is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Marietta, GA. Known as the "BreastNBodyDoc" on Instagram, and one of the few African-American female plastic surgeons in the United States, she offers cosmetic surgery for the breast, body, face, and skin. The Spelman College graduate, who joined the hit reality show, Atlanta Plastic on Lifetime in 2015, believes "there shouldn't be any shame or stigma in getting plastic surgery." "There's nothing wrong with working out AND seeking cosmetic enhancements. Just like you would get your hair styled or nails done at a salon, you can get micro-needling, fillers or other procedures done to feel like your most beautiful self -- just consider it a part of your beauty routine," says Baron. "Getting plastic surgery doesn't take away from the hard work you put in at the gym." Take a listen as we discuss how she managed to launch her medical practice while keeping her wellness journey intact.

Melissa Butler

Detroit native Melissa Butler went from working on wall street to skillfully and strategically launching a start-up beauty brand, The Lip Bar, into a nationwide phenomenon. When the Florida A &amp; M University grad took her line of custom-made, vegan lipsticks on ABC’s “Shark Tank” in 2015, she was laughed out of the room. But the experience only further ignited her ambition to succeed. And it taught her an important lesson about persistence that would years later allow her to land The Lip Bar’s products on shelves at 142 Target stores across the country. Take a listen as we discuss her journey from stocks and bonds to beauty and how she makes a healthy lifestyle a priority.

Jaimee Ratliff

Jaimee Ratliff is an Atlanta-based certified yoga teacher and passionate advocate for living a life she loves. She credits her yoga practice as being one of the tools in her self-care regimen that has helped her get through life's difficult seasons. While Jaimee wholeheartedly believes yoga is accessible to everyone, the desire to share her practice as a teacher stems from a sensitive reality that the yoga community strongly lacks diversity, both on a local and global scale. She believes that anything is possible once you start believing in yourself and wants to encourage you to not let fear take the driver seat of your life. Just start.

Christina M. Rice

Christina M. Rice founded OMNoire from a need to create a safe space for women of color to share their stories and find a support system throughout their wellness journeys. Through workshops, events, and retreats, her platform empowers women to find wellness on their terms. From launching a successful Nashville-based boutique straight out of undergrad to launching her PR firm LuxeLife Media in NYC, the serial entrepreneur turned to yoga to remedy her exhaustion. The Tennessee State University grad was so inspired by the practice that she began to work towards becoming an instructor. While on her certification journey, she felt isolated and lonely as the only woman of color in the room. "I started teaching classes, and I realized more and more Black women were seeking out my class. I realized there would be something special about creating spaces for women of color." And that's how OMNoire, a wellness social community for women of color, was born.   Listen in as Christina gives us the 411 on how she went from fashion to fitness and hasn't looked back.     Follow Christina on Instagram at @christinamrice and @omnoire.   /// ABOUT THE SHOW /// The PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT Show, hosted by Aeshia DeVore Branch, highlights women who are balancing demanding careers with a healthy lifestyle and hurdling over personal and professional obstacles.

Lauren Cole

Born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, sports have been a part of Lauren's life since the age of five. Growing up in a house of active siblings led her to fast-pitch softball, but she focused on Track &amp; Field and earned a four-year college scholarship to compete in the sport. When a career-ending injury affected her success on the track, she pushed forward to pursue another passion - hair - and earned a license as a master cosmetologist in Atlanta, GA. The health and fitness industry has remained a key component in her life for a decade while working as a sports performance trainer, personal trainer, and even competing in bodybuilding for about three years.  Tune in to hear her take on AAU sports and why she stays passionate about taking care of her body for a lifetime. Next up, Lauren has partnered with her husband to run a supplement manufacturing company that collaborates with professional athletes and celebrities to launch clean and safe products!
