Growing up in Coney Island, Brooklyn, a high school graduate at fifteen, who left college to tour as a musician, she is aware that education, be it formal or self-earned, is essential, but not as important as heart, ethics, and motivation.

Recently, she became the co-Executive Producer of Exaltation, a documentary that premiered at UNESCO’s 17th session in Morocco.

Her involvement in boxing was a gift from her late husband, actor Don Chastain, whose father, Clyde “The Texas Tornado” Chastain packed a righteous right.

She was the gatekeeper for IChannel’s Boxing App and continues to write and produce for new media in the US and Mexico and is the Creator of Medicomicals and Medicurials, concepts that popularizes medical information.
