Tunde Oyeneyin will be in conversation about her life and work, culminating in the release of her book SPEAK: How to Find Your Voice, Trust Your Gut, and Get from where You are to where You Want to be.
Peloton’s elite cycling and bike boot camp instructor has quickly become known for her empowering and motivational rides that force you to dig deep and open your mind. From addressing human rights and racial injustice, to advocating the importance of “Soul Care,” her devoted followers know they are unclipping with a better sense of self every time they strap in. Tunde most recently announced her book, Speak, an empowering, inspiring memoir that shows how she transformed grief, setbacks, and flaws into growth, self-confidence, and triumph. Tunde believes that in order to S.P.E.A.K., you must Surrender, know your Power, lead with Empathy, remain Authentic, and have the Knowledge to back it up.”
Tunde Oyeneyin is a Texas native of Nigerian descent, who began her career as a professional makeup artist and brand educator for some of the most sought-after beauty lines in the world. She developed and harnessed her talents for over 15 years, “gifting people with confidence.” Tunde struggled with her body image and self-esteem throughout her entire childhood and into her adult life, until fitness offered her a greater form of self-love.
Eventually, she realized her true calling was to motivate people to join her in becoming the best version of themselves. After starting out as a cycling instructor in Los Angeles, Tunde landed a coveted spot on Peloton’s superstar instructor team. On any given day, she trains up to 20,000 live riders through her motivational and unifying classes. Tunde launched her Instagram Live Series, SPEAK, that spotlights stories and voices of those who have thrived and shown resilience in the face of adversity.
ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.
