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.

Stepping It Up... Sunday, August 12

For the record, I just wanted to note that I don't make any money whatsoever running the Lil' Sistas Project and coaching the Lil' Pow Class for them.  Moreover, the money from the two items we're currently selling for the Lil' Sistas Project (the Lil' Sista Hoodie and the Empowered Cap) go solely towards the Lil' Sistas -- buying them boxing clubs and paying for any added expenses or events my company, Empowered Clubhouse, runs for them.  

This is a volunteer job I've made for myself, extra work I'm more than happy to have on my plate because it fuels me, makes me feel like I'm paying it forward and giving back to the community.  Plus it's a bunch of little girls who deserve and need the extra love so why not?!  Exactly.  

Lately I've been really pushing the Lil' Sista fundraising items, perhaps a bit too much, but I'm doing it because they're new, it's going to be big, and I'm just really passionate about it.  The other day I was asked a million and one questions about it and today I was asked if I could give a talk about it and Empowered.  I've agreed to do it.  This week I have a meeting regarding it and regarding possibly becoming like an in-house training for a rather large company here in BGC.  Super excited about that, about all of it!!!
