By day, I am a Certified Event Producer and the CEO of Events by Treasure. For the past 20 years, I have managed international corporate executive events and experiences for 5 of Canada’s top communications, technology, financial, insurance, and luxury hospitality brands. In an effort to continue growing the social side of my event planning business, I recently obtained my Wedding Designer & Planner designation. By night, I’m a positive and energetic person, dog owner and lover, addicted to travel and learning to love fitness one weight training, spin and Zumba class at a time.
I joined 100 SAS because I desired being a part of a strong and safe community where I could focus daily on taking time for me without feeling guilty. Reducing stress levels due to a super busy career and releasing weight were my main motivators.
The best part of my 100 SAS journey continues to be the opportunity to learn about myself, to grow holistically, and to serve others.
I am a proud 100SAS Eagle who humbly serves this thriving movement by providing project and event management support.
If you really knew me, you would know that my favourite way to stay active is by hiking in nature with my energetic and curious dog Kaizen. I’ve also been told my smile and my positive aura are my super powers, which make me highly allergic to negative energy or people. Gratitude, laughter, and faith help to keep me focused on living my best life.
The best part of my SAS journey so far is that I have reclaimed my power in my life; I have made changes and decisions since starting 100 SAS C6 that it has propelled me to healing, growth and the restoration of my confidence. I especially love being a part of a healthy sisterhood that is focused on ensuring mutual success!
I am not only a new sister eagle but I am on the A-Team and am a Mentor for our Calgary (YYC) group.
If you really knew me, you would know that I struggle with my self-perception but as I continue to get to know myself I am learning to stand in my power and establish healthy boundaries in all my relationships.
I am a fun-loving, passionate and confident woman committed to making better health and wellness choices each day. Being on this 100 Strong and Sexy journey has helped me transform my body, mind and spirit, while encouraging others to do the same. It’s about whole health and I am truly thankful for that! To be part of this tribe where I am surrounded by like-minded women, that encourage and up-lift one another is incredibly powerful and life-giving. I am constantly seeking opportunities to learn, grow and be stretched – 100SAS consistently delivers.
It is a blessing to utilize my passion for serving others and my background in business management to support the advancement of this movement. My goal is to positively influence lives, as I take action daily to evolve into the best version of myself!
I am a passionate, and active health and wellness advocate.
I have also spent the last decade working for an international online learning company as a Higher education specialist and it has given me the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life who aspire to improve their career and personal goals.
I joined SAS from cycle 1, I was fed up of fighting to stay healthy and lose weight. It seemed like a great challenge, especially because you had to be accountable with your workouts and your food or you were eliminated and this is what I needed.
SAS has really helped many of us to make a positive shift in terms of our self image as well as the unhealthy choices we occasionally make.
Restoring Faith in Female Friendships, genuine authentic supportive sisterhood, and the new mindsets is what I appreciate about 100 sas, its invaluable.
It’s so refreshing to hear the testimonials from various individuals who are dedicated and determined to embrace a new positive healthy lifestyle.
I am an active mother of 2 boys who are crazy about soccer. But I am so much more than a soccer mom. A interior design enthusiast, and
passionate about nutrition and food. Yep I need SAS because I love food!! Joke aside, I find it so interesting how we can find so many healthy alternatives to junk. So I am determined to always encourage others to achieve their best life by making better lifestyle habits!! I love being a part of this 100SAS journey, it is such an honor to serve and support individuals achieve a more positive and purposeful lifestyle, focusing on their health and fitness goals.
It’s a new season and let’s continue to soar!!
I am an overcomer, I am stronger than I think and I am resilient! I believe through my faith in Jesus, I can and I will do all things through Him that strengthens me! I joined 100 SAS during Cycle 2 because Janine Gordon (another Sister Eagle and A-Team) referred me and I haven’t stopped participating in this movement since!

Great and GLOWrious Day Sister eagles!
My name is Jully Black, I’m 42 years old, Toronto born and the youngest of 9 children. My professional career is on wiki so I’ll focus on being the proud founder and active member of 100 Strong & Sexy.
I started this movement to help me with the pain that was taking a toll on me after the sudden passing of my beloved Mother Agatha on November 29th, 2017. From that Day until August 1st 2018 I turned to chips and wine on a daily to crunch and drown my sorrows.
God is so sovereign that he had me become a vegan 2 years prior so I didn’t gain much weight but I saw that as his AMAZING GRACE.
The message I heard loud in my spirit was “Don’t let life pin you down before you decide to get up” so I got up and made my next move my best move!
The call to action was to go on a 100 day health and wellness journey with 56 other Women. Many who are still here, they too decided to take control of their mental, emotional and physical Health and to go on a mission of “Restoring Faith In Female Friendships.”
Here we are, two years later and I am so happy you all have said YES to make the rest of your life the best of your life! You will see this message in all the clubs as aside of Besties Club, each club was birthed as a result of what was missing from my own life. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ghandi
THE BOOK CLUB
The Book Club was birthed after I was paid to read five books on CBC but soon after fell off! I knew needed accountability so I formed a club!

STEP CLUB
The Step Club was formed as a result of Covid19 locking the gyms and my Bestie Nkechi encouraging me to step with her. I was garbage at first so I had to unpack the ego and why I was being so hard on myself and surrender to the fun!

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL
This club was birthed after speaking to another sister eagle Rosie and a few other Eagles who also lost parents and loved ones and needed support. Our club is unique and inspiring. We celebrate the living while honouring those who have transitioned.
PLANT FORWARD
As a 3 year Vegan turned plant forward advocate, this group was birthed to help our members see that there are LOTS of YUMMY foods in the plant forward space! I released so much inflammation and weight when I dropped meat! I’m not radical though, so this is to support those who are curious or want to transition even for a cycle! If you love meat EAT IT!
WAKE & WORSHIP
Formerly “The Prayer Engine” this club was birthed in 2016! Yep, many of us have been praying, memorizing bible verses and entire chapters (yes, chapters!) plus fasting together for 4 years! In 2015 I was on a journey to go deeper with God so I committed to celibacy for 3 years and decided I didn’t want to use Sex, Money or food to pacify my pain any longer. The rest will be in the book LOL. If you’re interested in joining the PDL (purpose driven life) bible memorization group please Email info@100strongandsexy.com

I chose this photo to let satan see that in spite of all I’ve endured, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, being stabbed as a youth, severe financial hardship, betrayal, loss of 3 siblings and my Mother, 9 year relationship ending badly and more, THE JOY OF MY LORD IS MY STRENGTH!
Find your smile daily! It’s a powerful tool and weapon!
With Love,
JB
