Episode 2: Utter Beauty & The Glory of Using Yo Meat
Shemika, also known as Utter Beauty. We think this name is absolutely fitting, ok?
Shemika and her Use Yo Meat workshop is one that I’ve heard rave reviews about, and as a lover of all things Utter Beauty I’ve enjoyed the behind-the-scenes snippets that I’ve seen of her teaching and engaging with students. Transparency guides the way she moves throughout the pole world, and you’ll definitely get to experience her avid encouragment of uplifting self-talk and determination during our conversation!

Initially, I started pole on my birthday. That pole party changed my life. Since then, watching the beautiful souls of the pole community inspire EVERYDAY. Events like PoleCon, workshops, and virtual teachings, and Instagram all fuel my continued inspiration.
