Makeda Richardson (she/her) was introduced to the wonderful world of boxing fitness in 2011 by trainer, coach, friend and business partner, Angel McNamara. Since that time, Makeda has been training and often teaching boxing classes alongside Angel, while gaining a new appreciation and passion for the “sweet science of boxing.”
Makeda holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maryland, an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Georgetown University. She is a Learning Experience Designer and Consultant, co-owner and COO of Fight Into Fitness, and coach of Rock Steady Boxing Montgomery County — a boxing inspired non-contact boxing program that strives to bring fun, fitness and determination to each fighter going toe-to-toe with Parkinson’s disease. Makeda also serves as Board Chair of Montgomery County Pride Family, MoCo Pride Center Inc., a consortium of LGBTQIA+ services, advocacy, and arts and culture organizations serving Montgomery County, MD and the surrounding region.
By love and unrelenting joy, Makeda is the proud mother of three beautiful children and grandmother of seven. In her spare time, she enjoys vacations to the beach, amusement parks, dancing and spontaneous outings full of friends, fun and fierceness.
