As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

I think this is my favorite picture I've taken since I arrived.
There's nothing in the world my father wouldn't do for my mother and I see it evident and so clearly with each day I am here.
I took this picture last night. My mother insisted on putting her hair in curlers for today's big anniversary celebration dinner but she was too weak to do them herself. My father has dyed and cut her hair before but never curlers. Tonight he put struggled but managed to put her hair in curlers so that she'd be happy.

This is love! mM dad was the same way when my mom was sick. The way he took care of her was amazing. Thanks for sharing such a personal picture with us.
