  • 🌟 Honoring Our Veterans on Veterans Day 🌟

Today, we pause to honor the bravery, resilience, and dedication of women who have served in our armed forces — including those in our own organization and communities. At WILDE, we are especially proud of our founder, Dr. Linda A. Nkwenti, whose leadership, vision, and commitment inspire us daily to empower and uplift women in every aspect of wellness.

Dr. @linda_arrey  unwavering dedication to service has paved the way for our mission, impacting lives and creating meaningful change in underserved communities. Her example reminds us of the unique strength and perspective that women bring to the frontlines and beyond, shaping the future for generations to come.

To all the women who have served, past and present — we salute you. Your sacrifices, courage, and resilience are the backbone of our freedom, and your legacy lives on in the work we do at WILDE.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for inspiring us all. 🕊️

  • What a phenomenal time we had during our August Wellness Meetup yesterday.  Thanks to Wendy from @paintsipllc for facilitating an enjoying painting session - EVERY VOTE COUNTS, and we encourage you to make it to the polls. 

Thanks to Dr. @amanda.iannotti for facilitating conversations on health and fitness. She emphasized the need to keep moving while also recognizing when to pause and recenter. 

Our sister, @phitranusaf did an awesome job hosting. What a time we had. 

And a very special birthday to our very own sister, @andreia_n_williams 

Thanks to every woman who took time off for themselves and be present yesterday. You dedicated this time for YOU! 

We are concluding the year with our End of Year Meetup at the breathtaking @waldorfastoriadc for Afternoon Tea on December 14. Stay tuned.

  • Ladies, Fitness is a key part of your  overall wellness. During our October wellness meetup, we will be focusing on the balance of physical health with mental and emotional well-being. The conversations will encourage a holistic approach where fitness routines contribute to a fuller sense of wellness and personal fulfillment. 
Get ready to ignite personal growth, self-improvement, and discover happiness through physical wellness. 

Hosted by, @phitranusaf, Founder of @fosteringouryouth, this gathering will encourage you to thrive by nurturing your body and mind, while finding joy in your journey of health and self-care.

We also welcome Dr. Amanda Iannotti, OTD, OTR/L, AIT, CF-L2, to the WILDE stage. 
@amanda.iannotti is a school-based occupational therapist dedicated to helping students with disabilities engage in school activities. As an Adaptive & Inclusive Fitness Trainer, Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, and Level 2 CrossFit Trainer, she is passionate about promoting functional movement and accessible physical activity in schools and her community. Amanda advocates for the physical, mental, and behavioral benefits of exercise, working to reduce barriers and close participation gaps. Currently on leave to care for her newborn, she continues coaching CrossFit classes at @crossfit_234 and leading workshops for female athletes. When she’s not at the gym, Amanda enjoys being outdoors and spending time with her family & their two rescue pups.

We are looking forward to Painting N Fitness with these phenomenal ladies on Oct 19.
