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.

False Alarm?!...Tuesday, July 7

I was told I'd be leaving yesterday. It was a false alarm but it mad me so very upset.  I have a life to return to, reality to get back to. I remind myself that I should just be thankful and feel blessed for this opportunity but it's hard not to get upset about leaving later than I want and need to.

I will return though.

I love Mexico!

I think it's been over-hyped, the whole idea of it being super dangerous. Mexico City seemed a bit ghetto. No one but me wore sandals but me saying "hola amigo" (hello friend) to everyone I met served to make this country incredibly friendly and sweet to me. I wish I could stay longer to explore and because I absolutely loved the family whose home I stayed in but life continues on and mine in Toronto has been continuing with the abscense of me so In have to get back.
