Name: Allison Jennings Poston
Age: 37
Occupation: Owner/Founder of Smart Barre, a women's fitness studio offering barre classes, which combine ballet, Pilates and Yoga in one class.
Definition of Beauty: Beauty is having the confidence to be yourself and recognize your inner gifts, then use them for the betterment of our world. My 10-year-old daughter and I worked on writing this definition together, and I am breathing a sigh of relief that she did not say, 'Beauty means you have to look "hot"!'
How I Give Back to the Community: Even before opening Smart Barre, I took advantage of many ways to volunteer and give back to my community, especially through the Junior League of Fort Worth. Now, as a business owner, I enjoy many opportunities to support local organizations by making donations to their fundraisers. Because encouraging health and wellness is part of my business, I was thrilled to host "Work Your TuTu to Save your Ta Ta's", an event that raised money for Komen Fort Worth and the Joan Katz Breast Center last October. Inspired by the recent loss of a dear friend, this event is a personal ambition to be part of a greater movement that raises funds and awareness to end Breast Cancer. I look forward to making this an annual event.
