Cultural appropriation:
Tripoli is an Italian name, to my knowledge, unless it's made up which I don't believe it is, I think it is a real name. I'm a subscriber that has canceled my subscription, so this was not something I heard somewhere, I keep seeing her in these African braids and she looks Caucasian. That is a big disconnect for me and I simply can't get past it. |

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything, cause it would be all over my laptop!

are you talking about Misty? Her hair looks like Rastafarian dreads to me. I used to have them. However I do wear braids also, otherwise I would be sporting an afro. My heritage is also caribbean. some of my family look like her also. I always thought she was dual heritage, not Caucasian only. Anyway I like her workouts and I do not mind her either. |

Misti--in her workouts--hasn't mentioned her heritage or (to my limited knowledge) used it as a marketing tool.
An example of misappropriation is the "professor" at GWU who pretended to be a black person (Jessica Krug) or Rachel Dolezal. |

I don’t use the streaming but I have the HIIT and Fit workout DVDs. My intention was to buy these so I have something different I can use every once in awhile. I would not subscribe because I wouldn’t workout to these regularly. You can do what they are doing in the workout or you can do your own thing, production value is excellemt and there are a variety of body shapes and sizes doing the workouts. There are times during the workout when you can free dance for a few minutes. They are fun for variety but I wouldn’t do them regularly like I would Cathe’s workouts.
