I am a forever writer, but a debut author of
LITTLE TROUBLE:
WHAT MUHAMMAD ALI TAUGHT ME
ABOUT HOLDING ON & LETTING GO
(working title)
My mission is to tell stories that reveal the heart behind history—stories that humanize icons, expose power with tenderness, and inspire people to find belonging, healing, and courage in their own truth; to transforms pain into purpose, offering readers a way to see themselves and one another with greater compassion.
“The man who sees the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”
Muhammad Ali
Why I Fight for Athlete Brain Health
I grew up inside Muhammad Ali’s orbit, learning to see the world through his courage, compassion, and service — even as I witnessed the early signs of the Parkinson’s that would one day quiet his voice. Later, I saw the same shadows in other fighters, and as the wife of a former NFL player, I came to understand how deeply repeated impact can shape an athlete’s mind, memory, and identity. That understanding ignited my commitment to protecting their long-term brain health.
When a regenerative-medicine company launched a major study of exosome therapy for retired NFL players, I knew boxers needed the same chance at healing. I worked to widen the study so retired fighters — including world champions I’ve known for decades — could access this promising research. My advocacy is driven by love, loyalty, and a belief that the people who give us their strength deserve care long after they leave the ring or the field.
