In this deeply emotional and inspiring episode, High Fitness instructor Amira Donnelly joins us to share her harrowing story—her day of becoming a certified instructor was tragically overshadowed by the devastating loss of her teenage daughter, Sasha. In a targeted attack involving other teens, Sasha was fatally shot, altering the trajectory of Amira’s life forever. Surrounded by grief and facing a pending trial in December, Amira opens up about holding onto Sasha’s vibrant spirit and purpose. Through the creation of the nonprofit Long Live Sasha, Amira channels her pain into empowerment. This foundation, driven by love and “Sasha’s spirit,” supports at‑risk youth through charitable scholarship efforts and community outreach, allowing others to “love like Sasha”—with unwavering passion.
