Confessions of a Bikini Pro

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Lawna Dunbar, who started competing in 2014. After taking 3 straight overalls, she competed at USA where she got last call outs. After a 6 year break from the stage, she continued her 1st place streak and the won her Pro Card at the 2021 Ben Weider Natural Pro Am. She then made her Pro debut at the Texas Pro, taking 5th place. Since then she has had a breakout debut season, all while earning her Bachelor degree and starting a new job!

Planning and routine have helped her be successful in going to school and competing.
