The ultimate pre-fest mixer set the tone for an unforgettable PGSFEST2025 weekend.

Before the high energy, sweat-filled celebration of PGSFEST2025, Sweat Sisters gathered in downtown Atlanta at CULTURE LAB ATL for an exclusive kick-off experience: PGSSUITE2025. Hosted by PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT founder Aeshia DeVore Branch, this intimate evening brought together SWEATlebrity™️ Honorees, the 2025 PGS100STRONG list, hosts, DJs, special guests, and instructors for a night of connection, laughter, and preparation before the big day.

A Theme to Remember

The evening’s dress code, Black Sporty Chic, transformed the private event into a runway of sisterhood and style. Sweat Sisters showed up in sleek all-black ensembles, blending sporty edge with fashion-forward details, capturing the essence of the launch of the annual Girls’ Night Out.

The Vibe

Upon arrival, guests were greeted with hugs from old friends and introductions to new ones. The atmosphere quickly filled with music curated by DJ Amber Alert, who had everyone grooving to a mix of nostalgic hits and the latest tracks. Line dances broke out, laughter echoed through the space, and the energy was nothing short of electric.

Among the celebrated crowd were celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins, body positivity advocate Lacee Green, fitness coach and community builder Deja Riley, wellness entrepreneur Mecca Day, mompreneur and trainer Kiara Freeman, wellness leader Bo Talley-Williams, family fitness advocate Leticia Gardner, business strategist Donni Wiggins, and lifestyle influencer @stephsblessedd. Their presence elevated the night, creating powerful opportunities for connection and collaboration while showcasing the diversity of leadership in the Sweat Sisterhood.

Light bites of fresh fruit and charcuterie kept the party fueled, while cups sparkled with Viarae Prosecco, a sparkling white wine from Issa Rae, the celebrated creator of Insecure.

Its presence at PGSSUITE2025 couldn’t have been more fitting, perfectly embodying the evening’s essence of connection, celebration, and sisterhood.

Sound Healing for the Soul

As the night unfolded, the mood shifted to serenity with a guided sound bath led by Michelle Sanchez. Born in Brooklyn, Michelle has transformed her 20+ year career in the music industry into a calling for spiritual healing. Today, she uses sound therapy, Reiki, and chakra balancing to help others release tension, find alignment, and restore balance.

Her session at PGSSUITE2025 gave Sweat Sisters the rare opportunity to pause, breathe, and let go of the week’s stress—leaving them grounded, clear, and ready to fully embrace the following day’s energetic festival.

Gifting with Purpose

Before heading out, every guest received a carefully curated gear package designed to prepare them for PGSFEST. Each bag included:

• A custom PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT t-shirt (available here for purchase)
• A white New Balance skirt + New Balance 740 sneakers
• Haircare essentials from Pattern Beauty, Mielle, ThePuffCuff, and bondbar.
• A durable hair tie from Start Today—perfect for holding hair back during sweat sessions
• Post-workout supplements from BODi
• And a Total Body Workout Kit from thehollywoodtrainer.com.

The gifting lounge doubled as a moment of gratitude—equipping every Sweat Sister with tools, apparel, and self-care products to thrive during the weekend.

PGSSUITE2025 wasn’t just a mixer. It was a statement: sisterhood thrives when women gather intentionally. Between the beats, bubbles, and healing vibrations, Sweat Sisters connected in ways that set the stage for the Ultimate Sweat Sisterhood Homecoming.

As the night ended, guests left energized yet grounded, carrying not only gear for the weekend but also a renewed sense of purpose, connection, and excitement. With its resounding success, one thing is certain: PGSSUITE has become a permanent part of the PGSFEST tradition.
