Kathy Stanford Grant

If I ask you to picture what type of person says "I'm going to my Pilates class this weekend", you would most likely imagine a wealthy, skinny, white woman. One of the best things about social media is the opportunity it provides everyone to always learn something new from a person with different expertise, life experiences, and social background. It was thanks to Twitter user @themultiplemom where I learned that Pilates was popularized in America thanks to a black dancer named Kathy Stanford Grant.
