Everyone who pitched tonight applied and they were selected by votes from the aSweatLife ambassador #BetterWIthFriends Committee. This week, they also all received mentorship from @lfoundos on pitching and @melissa.a.ruiz on public speaking. We heard from @KensliDIggs and her idea for Dew Society, from @arootberg and @Shil.I.am on an expansion idea for @wellnessforevery1, and @wokechi_sa for her trauma-informed mindfulness tools in schools at wokechi. And between the attendees and the judges - @courtneynphillips and @nadyaokamoto - the winner was @wokechi_sa. Congratulations, Sarah!! Weβre so proud the community could be a part of your journey.
