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'm Out Of There... Wednesday, October 7

And just like that I was out... o-u-t!!!  

I told my dad to pick me up at 12 noon; he was coming to help me move.  He showed up at 11am.  I had arrived home from boxing a bit earlier, around 10:30am, and broke the news to my landlady.

"I've got good news and bad news", I told her.  "I'm moving out... now."

By the time the clock struck 12 I had not only started to pack but had finished it, had loaded it up into Papa Bere's car, and were half way down Bathurst Street.  I was way too eager to leave and my dad was equally eager to get me out of there.  Energy is contagious both positive and negative, and I for the sake of my boxing and keeping my head in the game I had to get out of there.  

I timed my commute today...
From my apartment doorstep to the doorstep of System, 23 minutes.
From my apartment doorstep to Paul Brown Boxfit, if I run, 6.5 minutes.
