Badass Basic Bitch
Brianna was born in New York and raised by a single mom of 5 kids. Through her struggles with self-worth and battling an eating disorder for over a decade, Brianna found herself packing everything in her Honda Civic and moving 3,000 miles to California where she knew no one, to chase an entrepreneur dream.
She found her passion, voice, and used her scrappiness and hardships to achieve something no one ever thought she could; creating a multi-million dollar company, which she sold. But then she found herself in the middle of her own divorce leaving her a single mom of 3. Now, remarried, Brianna lives in Austin with her husband and four children, as she continues to build companies and empower women to see they are enough.
So, what is a Badass Basic Bitch? It all started at an event, in a deep debate when another woman called Brianna a “basic bitch”. Quick off the mark, she replied with, “I’m a badass basic bitch”. We are often quick to judge and quicker to jump to our own conclusions. This woman knew very little about me. She judged me simply on our few interactions with each other. She coined me how she felt I fit into her view.
These Baddie Bs are everywhere. They’re our neighbors, women at church, soccer moms, or single women at the bar. These women are all of different religions and races, they are poor and rich, married, divorced or single. But they all have one thing in common; they are ordinary women doing extraordinary things. And now, it’s time their stories are told.

The Making of Foobs and Fitness with founder, Rori Zura
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we hear the story of another amazing survivor, Rori Zura. She shares how her family history of cancer lead her to be a fierce advocate for her health and shares her perspective on the role of fitness in her treatment and recovery journey.
Rori Zura currently lives in Commack, NY with her amazing husband and 2 Frenchie furbabies. She is 35 years old, an avid athlete, and just finished her battle against Breast Cancer. She's always been an active person, her mom used to say that when she was a baby, she learned to run before she could even crawl - she has been on the go ever since.
After graduating from high school, she ventured out to the wild wild west and attended Arizona State University with the intention of graduating in the design field. Rori ended up graduating with a BA of Design Studies and came back to New York during the 2009 recession. She then jumped from job titles within the hotel industry for 10 years before getting back into Design - right before the pandemic hit.
Rori ended up being let go from her graphic design position, only to be diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer shortly after.
August 17th, 2020 (the day before her 2nd wedding anniversary) she was officially diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
