Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have been active at school in sports and dance. Later on you took the career as a professional cheerleader. You then have been a fitness model and a fitness competitor. Tell us about your journey that took you to the the world of fitness and as a winner in fitness competitions?

Ms. Samantha Baker Graham: I have always been involved with sports and dance growing up, in school, as well as in college. I decided to further pursue my dance career and try out to become an NFL Cheerleader. I made the squad and was a Professional NFL Cheerleader for a number of years. I loved the workout regimen, the dedication and hard work involved with being on the squad and wanted to continue on with that process after cheerleading.

I loved seeing the physical changes in my body as well as the mental strength to push harder and harder. I decided to give fitness modeling a try, loved it, had success with it and also decided to compete in figure a few years back and have also been blessed enough to do very well in the shows I have competed in. The process of getting ready or prep for a show is what I love the most and then seeing the final product on stage.

I think that my dance background provided me the comfort of being on stage in front of people, I really don’t think twice about the stage or the stage presence, that comes very naturally to me. The most difficult part of it all is learning the process and that doesn’t always include winning, it is a very subjective sport, you just may not be someone’s cup of tea that day that’s why you have to make sure that you are doing this for YOU and only YOU and your goal is to just be a better version of yourself than you were the show before.
