A former track and field student-athlete who founded an organization focused on holistic health recently produced Pretty in Power: A Jersey City Women’s Empowerment Conference in celebration of this year’s Women’s History Month. One of the speakers, Dorota Mani, owner of Design by Mani and co-owner of Café Peanut, spoke about how her background in jiu-jitsu has enabled her to be a strong, self-empowered woman. “That journey in athleticism gives her discipline and allows her to see things in a way where she doesn’t see challenges as deterrents; she sees them as opportunities,” said Carter.
Her research is centered on making a community impact. A program she created, Ujamaa Well: An Integrated Wellness Program for Black Women, funded by Google’s Racial Health Equity Initiative, is examining physical activity. One cohort recently finished a 20-week program and another cohort will soon be enrolled. Participants receive exercise psychology coaching as well as nutritional education.
