Hit a PR at Pull For Pride! This is my first competition and I’ve been lifting for almost a year. I have POTS and hEDS so it’s been a slow powerlifting journey. Vegan for 19 years! Happy Pride! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Hi! My name is Hannah. I went vegan when I was 12 years old and never turned back. Usually I am Gluten Free but have reintroduced Gluten until July to test for celiac. Currently I live in Maine! I love going to shoegaze and hardcore shows. I aspire to be a vegan powerlifter. I also love reformer and mat Pilates, cycling and boxing. I see movement as healing to my chronic illnesses and disabilities. I recently adopted a kitten named Zoey! Looking forward to feeling inspired in this group. 💚
