“Growing up, I constantly felt that I wasn’t enough because of my weight--I was told I was “cute” which really meant fat in my family. I was told that I would be prettier if I lost weight, I was told I couldn’t afford to not go to the gym and while I knew that my family didn’t mean to cause harm— it sucked. Being a young girl, thinking that looking a certain way or being “fat” and “skinny” carried so much weight. In 2017, I lost 15lbs preparing for my first U.S.A sanctioned fight - I was in the best shape of my life. BUT, it wasn’t sustainable: training twice a day, 7 days a week- physically, mentally, emotionally I was exhausted.”
“It took a lot of time and self-reflection that included some suffering, tears, and soul searching to get to where I am today. It doesn’t come easy but it’s a fight we all have within. It’s about finding out what we want to fight for. ”
So: “What would you do in the world, if you knew you couldn’t fail? Why do you fight?”
“Every accomplishment I've had thus far started with the decision to just try. So here I am, trying.”
