African-American women are unfortunately leading the way in obesity, heart disease and diabetes.  These conditions were once only heard of in older adults; however, even young girls are being diagnosed with these conditions at almost epidemic numbers.  Fit-BODY Ezine’s purpose is to promote a healthier lifestyle for African-American women and redefine what FIT looks like through a monthly website featuring articles, tips and discussions.  This purpose is based on one concept - “Fit isn’t just about what we have to give up; it’s about what we gain in our roles as sisters, daughters, mothers, role-models and friends.”  In addition to the problem that exists there is also a compounding cultural limitation that involves body image.  Women of color are often more comfortable with having curvier bodies.  As a result, the models in current fitness magazines do not appeal to some women nor do they provide realistic expectations for others.  The name FIT-BODY was chosen as a way to connect being fit, healthy and strong with maintaining your beautiful curves – it’s all about balance.  The two can coexist! We are currently seeking writers who are experts in the fields of Fitness, Health, Diet/Nutrition or Wellness who would like to be published in this innovative, exciting and extremely important e magazine.
If you are interested in seeing your work published please send a query letter or email rather than a completed article.  If your subject is of interest to our readers we will contact you and a word length and format will be given.  Give us a clear outline of your story and please include a brief biography that describes your writing experience and writing samples if available. If you would like to submit more than one idea, write a separate query for each topic.
