Wendy Raquel Robinson is a fierce advocate of working out as a means to staying healthy, both physically and mentally. Here, “The Game” star, a former dancer, shares how being active is her best stress-buster. “When I’m having a really rough day, I take it out in the gym,” she tells ESSENCE.com in an exclusive interview. “It releases so many endorphins in your body.”
And when it comes to Black women and the many stresses we face, Robinson advises sisters to put themselves first. “Its not about being selfish,” she says. “If you don’t, you will lose in the end. Until you can be happy, you can’t facilitate happiness for anybody else.”
