here are those
types of people
that command
the room when they walk in. Whether it’s their appearance, confidence, or personality, some people just have a presence about themselves that others can’t help but notice. Kayla Jeter is her.
Besides possessing the three B’s, BEAUTY, an incredible BODY, and BRILLIANCE, Kayla is humble about her accomplishments. She has certainly been blessed with the athletic gene that helped her earn a full athletic scholarship to play Volleyball at the University of Tennessee and earned a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology, with a focus in Motor Behavior and Sport Psychology. Both her father and uncle played professional football in the NFL and her older sister also played volleyball.
She grew up in a small town outside of Cleveland, Ohio and after college played professionally overseas before coming back to the states to coach at the University of Cincinnati. She landed in Chicago not too long ago and like many other transplants has truly embraced the city.
Kayla is an influential figure in the world of wellness and athletics, particularly within the Chicago community. As a lululemon ambassador, community consultant, and wellness coach, she's dedicated to helping her clients adopt sustainable healthier lifestyles.
With a background as a
trained behavior change
coach and certified
functional strength
coach, she brings a
wealth of expertise
to her work.
Her impact extends beyond in-
person interactions, as she has
effectively utilized digital platforms like Instagram,
TikTok, and Pinterest to
reach and connect with
over 130,000 followers. Through her digital content,Kayla
serves as a coach,
connector, and
validator of
shared human
experiences,
fostering a sense
of community
and empower-
ment among her
audience.
I was ecstatic to
learn more
about Kayla's
mission to
disrupt and
diversify homog-
enous spaces in
sports and the
wellness industry,
her commitment
to expanding
possibilities for
BIPOC (Black,
Indigenous, and
People of Color)
runners, her annual 100MilesofSummer
challenge, and of
course her sense of
fashion and style. It
is my pleasure to
highlight Kayla and
to share her story.
