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.

Running to Raise Money for Cabbagetown Community Centre

Headed with my energetic, beautiful crew of boxers to the Cabbagetown 4km Fun Run.
Leading some of his boxers was Johnny, the head coach from Cabbagetown Boxing.
I tried my best to encourage my crew and to encourage Cabbagetown's crew too, after all we were all there trying to raise money for a good cause (Cabbagetown Community Centre) and have fun doing so.  Mission completed.
See these two runners, one was running his first ever race and the other is a young boxer who has really fallen in love with boxing.  Both inspired me today with their results.
Two in my crew had never ran a race today, one of which was Ginger Spice, so the epic moment of the day was watching her cross the finish line.
I anticipated a crew of 10 but only a crew of 7 actually ran.
Regardless, we may have been a small crew but we were a fierce one!!!
Two of my crew that ended up not running showed up at the finish line to congrats us all.
Queen Spar scored 1st place among the women and I scored 2nd.
This wasn't a race for me though.  I was there to encourage and cheer on my crew.
Nonetheless, you know me, I get competitive.  I told Queen Spar next year it'd be a real race, her vs me, so I joked and told her she better start training -- "You have a year to train!"
All us runners... fabulous!!!
