Brittney Rae and Joslyn Reese figured they were on the cusp of something big. 

For five years they’d grown FIT & NU, their wellness business that primarily serves women of color.  Fitness classes were full. The nutrition programs were popular. The sisters were looking ahead to a time when they could franchise their concept.

Not so fast. The pandemic hit. The gym closed. Everything went, abruptly, online. 

Brittney Rae found herself streaming her workouts from a corner of her apartment. She picked a spot with good natural light, figuring it would provide a nice backdrop for her online workouts. It worked fine except for her morning classes, which started in the dark and ended at dawn’s early light.
