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.

Korea on the Brain but My Eyes Full of Canadian Greatness

Headed down to the Distillery District for a mid morning coffee and caught glimpse of them setting up what will soon be the most beautiful Christmas tree in the entire city of Toronto.
Walking back to my area, I then caught glimpse of this -- a crew of workers setting up almost 12,000 Canadian flags.  It's for Remembrance Day, in honor of all the fallen soldiers.
 It was absolutely beautiful to see but the symbolic meaning behind is bitter sweet.  None the less, I reached out to the setup crew working on it and thanked them for the beautiful sight.
