“I want the women's division to have that legitimacy, I want it to have...” — Sonya Deville Quote

I want the women's division to have that legitimacy, I want it to have that intensity and the aggressiveness, and I feel like that's where I personally can contribute.

Acting has been a passion of mine since I was young, I took acting classes through most of high school and years following while training MMA.

I live for the pressure, I live for the moments when I'm deep in the match, out of breath, hurt and feel like throwing up. It's in those moments that I push through, I keep punching, I keep going forward, because no matter what, I will never stop.

I didn't want it to feel like I was shoving my sexuality down people's throats.

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors.

Many men admire strong women, but they don't love them.

Many women try to advance in their careers by having all the answers; by being the go-to person for information and advice; or by building expertise in a particular field. However, as they progress, gain broader responsibilities, and grow into leadership roles, they realize that their span of control is too vast to be able to know every answer.
