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.

Separating for Spartan... Monday, June 26

In unofficial news I decided to break away from the pack and create my own team.  I had been debating doing the Spartan Race here on September 16th and both Skittles and I were going to form a team.  We both have our own thoughts on who we should have on our team.  He's more into just asking anyone he knows where as I want a team of solid, fierce contenders.  I figure the team can go one of two ways.  Either I pack it with friends and newbies I can help train and do the competition for them or I can stack my team with competitors who'll fight hard for this and inspiring each other.

And so, on that note, I decided it best Skittles part and make our own separate teams.  

My team is going to be all women.  Correction, my team is going to be all fierce females.  I want a stacked team of females I look up to, team mates that will motivate me as much as intimidate me with their competitiveness and determination.  

Tonight I sent out emails to some of the women I'm hoping will join me in this amazing challenge.

My picks so far consist of the following inspiring female athletes:
Lady J -- pro MMA/boxer
Lady B -- Muay Thai fighter
Lady P -- boxer
Lady A -- triathlete
