BLK Confetti


Growing up, Leah always had a deep love for fashion. As a young girl, she would cut up her mom's old clothing to create new looks for herself. Her passion for fashion eventually led her to study fashion marketing and design. She loved designing jewelry and accessories. After many years of experimenting with everything from beads to leather, she finally went back to something she really enjoyed in high school: Woodworking! She really enjoyed her wood shop class but did not continue with further classes. She felt that woodworking was a man's world and that she didn't have a place in it. In 2016 she decided to take a leap of faith and invest in a few power tools. Now, creating one-of-a-kind jewelry and home-wares has become her way of empowering women.

House Party Fitness + Studio


House Party Fitness® got it's start by accident when Brooke Pias (a personal trainer, a group exercise and dance fitness Instructor, Spanish teacher and single mom) had to substitute a stacked choreography hip-hop class. Nervous from filling in BIG shoes, Brooke decided to teach a cardio hip-hop class which was much different from what she was used to. She was short a few songs for a full hour class and she decided to fill up the time with upper body and lower body workouts as well as ab workouts... and BOOM! House Party Fitness® was born. The name came about when she noticed that her playlist was 90's inspired. Ever since then, she has expanded into different areas and finding others who share her love for hip-hop and and an intense workout! Join the Movement!
