Back story behind #SavageStrong
From your Event Organizer & Host: Hello, My name is Tisha Savage and I am an advocate for the National Arthritis Foundation. I currently have big plans for 2023 by working alongside the organization in order to raise awareness in the fight to conquer America's #1 cause of disability. Rather than letting her diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis define me, I am on a mission as Ms. Tennessee Prime 2023 (Division 3) to break the standards of beauty and live life to the fullest. I have vowed to be vulnerable by sharing my story and be vocal about the everyday struggles of PSA in hopes to encourage others to embrace their imperfections. Please join me this weekend alongside several other influential humans to spread awareness for this disease and create a safe space for other Women to talk freely. #SavageStrong

FOUNDER FIT ALPHA FEMALES
ALICIA CIAK
Hey! I’m Alicia Ciak. I’ve been on my own fitness journey since I was 16 years old after enduring a painful hamstring injury that ended my dance career. What seemed to be such a tragic end to a huge passion of mine was actually just the beginning of finding my love for health and fitness. Starting my own fitness journey also had a lot to do with feeling empowered and sexy in my own skin..and I’ve learned over the years that it’s actually so much more than just loving your physical appearance- but loving yourself from the inside out. I am a certified nutritionist and personal trainer through NASM. I have built a multiple six figure business by age 22 while also growing my following on social media, launching my modeling career, and speaking about health and business topics at fitness events. I am truly on a mission to help as many women as possible love themselves from the inside out while also learning what feeling sexy and empowered means/feels like to them. Rather than cutting out carbs or drinking shakes for every meal, my online training app, Alicia’s Fit Alpha Females, will help you lose fat in the most sustainable way possible while we also focus on mental health and becoming the “Fit Alpha Female” you’ve always wanted to be.

Now, Gabrielle is dedicated to using her platform to raise awareness about mental health and the importance of self-care to make sure others know they are not alone. She finds there is healing in sharing our experiences and hopes to inspire others to prioritize their mental health as well to create a kinder world where everyone feels safe and heard.

GIULIANNA FERNANDES
Born in a Brazil and moving to the North East at just 8 years old, Giulianna found herself in a new country, not knowing the language and struggling to adapt.

She’s an advocate for the power of a positive mindset and intentionally perusing your dreams and uses her platform in hopes that her efforts will inspire women to go after their own goals. She demonstrates this with taking control of her own aspirations by creating and self publishing two children’s books, rapidly growing a modeling career whilst managing multiple social media accounts, creating her own content and working a full time job. Giulianna believes pretty is what you are, but beauty is what you do with it.
