Our Mission

At Running Fat Chef, our mission is deeply rooted in inclusivity, accessibility, and empowerment. We strive to cultivate a welcoming online hub where individuals from all walks of life can come together to explore the interconnected worlds of fitness, food, and personal fulfillment. Central to our ethos is the celebration of diversity, as we actively amplify the voices and stories of those often marginalized in mainstream discourse. Whether you identify as Black, Indigenous, a person of color, LGBTQ+, a rebel challenging societal norms, plus sized, or simply someone who feels overlooked, you have a place within our community. We believe in the power of collective storytelling to challenge stereotypes, rewrite narratives, and promote acceptance of all bodies and journeys.

Vision Statement

Running Fat Chef’s vision extends beyond being merely an online platform—it's a dynamic ecosystem where inclusivity and empowerment intersect to create meaningful change. We aspire to be a beacon of positivity and acceptance, providing a safe haven where individuals from every corner of the globe find solace, support, and inspiration. Through fostering empathy, understanding, and collective growth, we endeavor to challenge stereotypes, rewrite societal narratives, and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable society, both online and offline.

Our Values

  • Inclusive Accessibility

    We prioritize creating a space where individuals of diverse backgrounds and identities feel welcomed, supported, and valued.

  • Advocacy Through Collective Storytelling:

    We harness the transformative force of diverse narratives and lived experiences to advocate for social change and empowerment within our community, fostering understanding, empathy, and solidarity to dismantle systemic barriers.

  • Breaking Barriers

    Our vision includes actively working to remove socioeconomical disadvantages, and striving to remove physical and mental barriers that may hinder individuals from fully engaging in fitness and food-related pursuits, ensuring that everyone has equal access and support.

  • Education Empowerment

    We believe in the power of education to empower individuals to make informed choices about their health, fitness, and well-being. Through educational initiatives, we strive to equip our community members with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate their fitness and culinary journeys confidently.

  • Reshaping Narratives

    We are committed to reshaping dominant narratives around health, wellness, movement, and identity to foster a more inclusive and equitable society.

  • Cultural Celebration & Body Diversity

    We honor the rich mosaic of cultural perspectives within fitness and food, valuing the unique contributions of diverse communities. Embracing all body sizes, abilities, shapes, and personal journeys, we foster a culture of acceptance and inclusivity.

  • Being able to follow Running Fat Chef have been a life saver. Living in Sweden, I don't have too many athletes to follow that are similar to me in speed and body. Seeing Latoya Shauntay Snell continue the athletic adventure in good times and in bad times shows me that it is possible to do and is a huge inspiration!

Running Fat Chef Pledge

I pledge to honor and uphold the values of inclusivity, empowerment, and celebration of diversity within and outside of the Running Fat Chef community. I promise to bring my full flavor to the table, spicing up our community with humor, honesty, vulnerability, and willingness to lean into the hard things because we are capable of seeing it through. I will respect the fellow community members, their boundaries and uphold my own. I will actively listen, learn, and amplify marginalized voices, promoting acceptance of all bodies and embracing the beauty of diverse perspectives. I will lean into this community with curiosity, daring to remix and challenge the stereotypes perpetuated in the fitness, culinary and wellness space. We honor that we are not asking permission to move throughout the world. We chase goals, not holes. We celebrate, not obliterate. We will not crucify ourselves under the harsh conditions of perfection or allow setbacks to hold us back for long. I strive to be the best version of me plus tax – I am always worthy. My story is worth writing, telling, and sharing. I pledge to be the best emcee who narrates my life.
