Francheska “Fancy” Felder

Media Mogul & Founder of SwagHer Magazine & Media

Francheska “Fancy” Felder is a quiet Southern, media mogul in the making. In 2010, she launched SwagHer Magazine, an empowerment and lifestyle publication for the progressive Black community.

Fancy’s passion for all things creative combined with her love for writing, Black culture, and business guided her to also offer her public relations, creative, and branding services, making the magazine more of a media boutique having its own subscription clients as well as advertisers, hence why the name changed to SwagHer Magazine & Media.

 The self-professed goddess realizes she has lived an eventful life and openly shares about her experiences on various subjects such as business (entrepreneurship/blogging/ branding); inspiration (self-love/homelessness/teen mom/domestic violence/Black unity and growth); and mental health (anxiety/depression/mindset/lifestyle/strip club addiction).

Through her years of interviewing powerful women and men searching for the ingredients to success, Fancy now believes that true success is when one is strong enough to love and forgive themselves and be who they uniquely are. In her free time, the trap-enthusiast enjoys spending time with her teens, working on self, writing poetry with hopes of performing spoken word, yoga, and deep conversations about politics, the disconnect between the Black man and woman, and building our own Wakanda with other deep thinkers, innovators, and socialpreneurs while growing into her highest self. She hopes to publish her first book in 2020 and aims to be a light within the Black community.

LaTrice "Da Beast" Hinton-Gibson

Choreographer & Fitness Professional

LaTrice a.k.a LaTrice “Da Beast” was affectionately coined “Da Beast” because she goes hard every time she hits the dancefloor! Her motto “Beast it out” however, goes far beyond the dance floor.

I’ve had a love of dance & fitness since a young girl but it wasn’t until I entered my adult years that I understood the importance of fitness & the effects it has on your body physically, as well as mentally.

After getting married & having children, I not only gained an excess of unwanted weight, but my self-esteem and sense of self diminished. With the encouragement of a friend, I joined my local gym, took my 1st dance fitness class and I found myself again.

I have been in the dance fitness industry since 2012 and I am a certified group exercise instructor as well as a licensed Zumba, MixxedFit, Commit Dance Fitness, Turn Up Dance Fitness and Chair One Fitness Instructor.

I have a passion for not only for helping people on their journey of weight loss & better health, but also for helping people recognize & tap into their greatness.
Whatever you do in life do it with purpose & always BEAST IT OUT!
