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.

Heartbreak in Happy Land... Wednesday, March 21

I lost the space for Empowered.

I won't go into my frustrations and the overdose of disappointment I feel because what happened was really not cool and I lost a little respect for some involved, to tell you the truth.  It made for a really, really, REALLY hard walk home from boxing at the realization that my fight wasn't backed up by all those who said they'd have my back.  I cried the entire way  home.  I showed up feeling completely beat up and who should I run into while waiting for the elevator at my condo but my business development partner.  She's been super supportive but, with my nose all red and eyes swollen, I then had to clear my throat, put on a smile, and address the situation.

First heartbreak in the Philippines for me and it was very much a real one, wow.
