Aida's business and mentorship work @ 0:00
Aida introduces herself as the proud owner of DNA Total Fitness, which specializes in Zumba and aqua Zumba classes. She also co-founded Success and Accountability Network, which mentors youth on life skills and accountability.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Aida was able to secure a grant from Healthier Delray to teach virtual Zumba classes to children. This allowed her to reach students around the world, as people were seeking online fitness options for their kids.
While the grant was a one-time opportunity, Aida has continued to grow her in-person Zumba classes, particularly catering to the senior population in her community. She now teaches weekly paid classes, though she notes the challenge of balancing her business with a full-time job and volunteer commitments.
Aida's drive to mentor young people stems from her own upbringing in Brooklyn, where she saw her mother's resourcefulness in finding support services. She is motivated to guide youth, especially those struggling with the pressures of social media and making poor choices, by instilling accountability and life skills.
Aida is actively involved in community service, including food drives through the Eat Better Live Better organization. She also speaks at events for youth empowerment, focusing on topics like creativity and monetization. For her birthday, she plans to organize a personal food drive to further support the local community.
