What a day to come back to sparring👌🏽
It definitely got a smile on my face 🥲
Can’t wait to see showcase all her hard work on August 24th 👊🏽
Call me Katnis 😅
Missing the short hair again 🥲👀
Well, it’s a hard picture to post for some reason. But it shouldn’t. I should be proud of what my body has been capable of. Here’s to me 🫶🏽
4 months postpartum, 40 lbs. down. 25 more to go. Hoping to fight in the fall/winter. Slowly getting there.
This is my life.
GUYS, I’VE KEPT THIS THING ALIVE FOR 4 MONTHS NOW. So proud of myself.
Happy 4 months of lighting up this world, my little dude. 🩵
I was just as fearless as a kid as I am as an adult 😂🫣
HOW ARE YOU TURNING 19 YEARS OLD!? 😭😭
Happy Birthday Princess Sissi. Love you ♥️
The Burkes. 💚
Mom got to go ride today 🥰
Thank you 🙏🏽
This is my chunker. There are many chunkers out there, but this one is mine.
Torvin got to meet some of the Coven today 🫶🏽
My coach is ready 👊🏽
Ready to go teach my minions at 🤙🏽🩵
always 🫶🏽

6 years ago I became the 115lb female under the promotion, fighting at the 👊🏽
I want another belt.
Mom always said I’d hate my tattoos once I had kids.
Nope, I don’t 🙈
Let’s be real.. This kid’s parents aren’t ordinary. He’s going to live at the gym, just like us, surrounded by a diversity in people who will show him what real friendship and camaraderie is. Tattoos aren’t going to be an issue, a person’s religion isn’t going to be an issue, skin color, social status, orientation & identity - things that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place aren’t going to be an issue.
What is going to be an issue is if the kid doesn’t want to do martial arts. 😂 Just kidding, this kid will be his own person and we’ll love him for it no matter what. Stuck at the gym either way though so he might as well.. 🥲
Happy Saturday, guys. Enjoy your weekend. 🩵
The plan is to compete again as a brown belt at the end of the year. 💪🏽
Competition makes you better. Period. The preparation involved alone tends to elevate one’s skill tremendously. I tell my minions this all the time at so it’s time for me to show them as I practice what I preach. 🙌🏽
It’s a takeover 🩵🩵 .loya
Watching to root for Tio as I’m reminiscing “the” walk.
Getting back to training with a 2 month old baby is insane. Yet here I am.
TMI so move along if you don’t want to read this, but this is my life right now - this picture: I literally rushed out of the shower to feed him a non-sweaty b**b. 😂 I only have a towel wrapped around me, didn’t even dry my hair. Before this, he engaged the poopmonster3000 during MMA class and then hysterically cried. He got bathed as soon as I got home because I had to change him at the gym while all sweaty and gross from touching other sweaty people and then soothing him. The hysterical crying (which he doesn’t do often, he’s an amazing baby, just when he’s overstimulated and really tired and which is around noon which is when class ends…) really scrambles my head. I don’t think a lot of people besides moms can understand this feeling/pain. It’s horrible. I freak out because of germs but that’s basically what I’ll deal with, every day. So I’m trying to figure out how to do it all. We did 9am boxing , rushed over to for 11am. I hadn’t eaten anything but a pb&j sandwich at 7am (I know, not prepared, at all. I need to find time to go grocery shopping this week) and so all in all today was a sh*tshow as well as a victory that I did it. I want to fight again in the fall. That part alone comes with way too many thoughts and scares. I keep getting told “baby steps” but there’s a reason I’m called too much… I can’t help it but I’m trying. I’m going back to teaching my minions in less than two weeks, of course with little man. It’s a different kind of life, I’ll tell you that. Besides all the other “life things”.
Momhood is serious business. Fighting is serious business. I’m trying to combine both. Wish me luck.
9 years ago yesterday I celebrated becoming a citizen. 🙏🏽 I’m thinking June 8th of next year that calls for another big celebration.🥳👌🏽
I’ve been chasing dreams ever since. Stay tuned because a lot more good stuff is coming in the next 10.. 🫶🏽
Love you, mucho and always,
Thanks timeline. 🥹 In another lifetime I was a bartender in Macon, Georgia.🤓 We would usually dress to the nines while working at Kashmir, but every once in a while we got to be weird 🥸 like 90’s night 🕺🏼
What would you guys want to see next? Traditional boxing, bareknuckle, or MMA? 👊🏽
# Too Much Mom.
Slowly back to training, already looking forward to being in a ring or cage again. 💪🏽 This baby boy put a whole new fire in my soul: I want to provide for my little family. So we’re about to get this sh*t started.
Happy 2 months, little dude! You are so loved 🩵
Girls doing fight weigh-ins in full-on lingerie, meanwhile I’m over here like: “Look at my baby’s hat!”
Next weigh-ins, I’m wearing a suit 🙃
