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’s <em>New York Times</em> best-selling book, *__Speak__*, was released in May 2022. *Speak* is 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.” *Speak* debuted #1 on Amazon’s List of Movers and Shakers and New Releases on the first day the book was made available for preorder. 

A Texas native of Nigerian descent, she began her career as a professional makeup artist and brand educator for some of the most sought-after beauty lines in the world. Tunde 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, Tunde 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. She trains up to 20,000 live riders on any given day through her motivational and unifying classes. “Team Tunde'' knows they can always rely on her to show up as her authentic self, ready to inspire.

Tunde launched her Instagram Live Series, *__SPEAK__*, which spotlights stories and voices of those who have thrived and shown resilience in the face of adversity. Celebrities such as Venus Williams, Common, Cynthia Erivo, Mel Robins, and Allyson Felix have all joined as featured guests supporting Tunde’s mission. Tunde has since announced her partnerships, as a proud Nike Athlete and the face of Revlon, along with other high-profile brands. She is a leader in Facebook’s “__*We The Culture*__” program elevating black voices and hosted her own Facebook Audio Live Show, “*__The Roots__*,” featuring guests like Emmanuel Acho, Robin Arzón, and Cat Cora. 

Tunde has recently been featured for her powerful work on *The TODAY SHOW*, *Access Live*, *The New York Times*, *Vanity Fair*, *Vogue*, *SHAPE*, *O Magazine*, and more.
