We were lucky to catch up with Raven Dukes recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Raven thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

The defining moment of my career is when I truly learn the power of manifestation. When I noticed that I can make my thoughts a reality everything changed.. my confidence my approach my everything. Having confidence in my cells allows me to have the ability to sell myself fully. Being confident in myself helps me bring out the confidence and others..

Raven, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Hello my name is Raven dukes I am a Zumba instructor. I became a Zumba instructor in 2021. My interest peaked in Health when I started having health issues of my own. Leaving a job that I was very unhappy at and very unactive I decided to become a Zumba instructor. Instructing has became a highlight of my life. As well as a Zumba instructor I am also a student at Coppin State University to be a dietitian. It took 80 hours of dance learning gyms and how to exercise properly and personal trainer certifications to begin teaching. My brand is named Fitnesswithraisin. I service all the clients and the Baltimore area. I create an outlet for people with low income to exercise. I teach exercise classes downtown on Light Street. I teach classes for the coppin state university under the state of Maryland. I have partnered with behavioral health Baltimore to teach and back to the youth of Baltimore city. I am an exercise instructor at Youfit gyms and Brick Bodies. My goal is to push my community to healthier options, affordable exercise, classes, and an outlet to every day life. Working out with me will build your confidence, improve your mobility, build your endurance and overall leaving you feeling stress-free.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

I would always choose being a Zumba instructor. I have always been a dancer, all of my life.. when I’m teaching Zumba it does not feel like I am at work. I am creating a safe space and experience for all of my clients.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy, for growing my clientele is being genuine. You have a trainer an instructor who really goes the extra mile and who cares. Although, growing a business is about money, that’s not all that I am after I honestly want you to be living and feeling the best of your life..
