Jera Foster-Fell was born and raised in NYC, studied Fine Art at USC, and worked as a graphic designer in LA, Boston, and New York in what she likes to call her ‘former life’.
After working at several terrible jobs, ending a long-term relationship, and struggling with social anxiety, she hit an all-time low. But in 2015, everything changed. She found a new passion for life through the combination of exercise and social media. Over the last three years, Jera has grown her lifestyle account to close to 200,000 followers, became an Adidas ambassador, pursued her dream of becoming a SoulCycle instructor, all while openly sharing both her triumphs and failures along the way. Covering topics from mental health to beauty and style, Jera’s goal is to empower women to get out of their comfort zones and to build confidence in themselves along the way.
