Today we’d like to introduce you to Keshia Marie.
Hi Keshia, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my fitness journey back in 2015 when I attended my friends Jay Cutler fitness competition. Shortly after I watch Arnold schwarzenegger documentary how he was in the fitness world and how it led him to acting opportunities because I am also an actress with a BA in theater arts pursuing acting as a career. In Boston, MA June 2017 I competed in my first fitness competition came in 6th place and won the modeling competition category. I went on to compete again in Miami November 2020 and came in top 5! I moved from Boston MA to LA in 2021 to pursue my career in acting and modeling. I have been acting since I was an adolescent. I was draw into acting after attending acting camp and participating in my first play in 7th grade. Growing up in a Haitian household I use to be the entertainer of the family and mimic all my family members and they would be entertained by it. Ive always had a love for acting and modeling. Falling into the fitness world just naturally came like a second natural habitat.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasnt been a smooth road because there was a period of time where I wouldn’t go to the gym and then I would gain weight and my fitness journey is always restarting and not smooth sailing like the internet tends to make it look like. When you stop and restart again its always a whole different journey its never the same feeling or place because you are always evolving and changing as a person and your goals are never the same and or may be a different approach.
