I have always known movement to be a form of power. As a young athlete, I thrived in sports and fitness. I was part of my high school & college soccer and track & field teams while also playing in the community leagues. I was driven, disciplined, and full of energy. But as life evolved and responsibilities stacked up, fitness slowly took a backseat. Like so many others, I found myself off track physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Restarting my fitness journey hasn’t been as easy as I imagined. It’s been challenging, humbling, and anything but linear. I’ve had to restart multiple times for multiple reasons. I’ve had to lean on different people at different times for support and motivation, but through every step, I just keep showing up and that’s what Platinum Wave is all about.
Creating this brand alongside my best friend has become a turning point: a reminder that it’s never too late to ride the wave again. With every new design, every message of encouragement, and every piece of clothing made to empower EVERY BODY, I am finding my fire again and that's what I hope happens for others.
Platinum Wave Athletics is more than activewear It’s a movement for those who’ve been through it, are going through it, and are ready to rise. Designed for all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, our pieces move with you on good days, hard days, gym days and everything in between. My goal for Platinum Wave Athletics is to empower individuals to live authentically, move confidently and boldly Ride the Wave.
