Women fighting for equality are finally reached a pinnacle in a male dominant sport, boxing. Women’s boxing will make its debut at the 2012 Olympics in London and will compete in three Olympic weight divisions.

We expect some strong artillery being exchanged in the international competitions as this sport debuts in the Olympics. The US elite team should be led by Marlen Esparza, Claressa Shields, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews and heavyweight Victoria Perez...all soon to become household names.

Women Cardio kickboxing classes have grown by 40% in the past three years and woman have been pouring into fitness training classes and boxing gyms in record numbers.

I’ll be presenting an interview with Team USA Coach Israel Acosta later this summer.

Hard work and life long survivor skills paid off last week for former USC grad and daughter of Mexican immigrants, Lizette Salas qualified as a L.P.G.A. Tour member.  Salas, 22, of Azusa became the first Latina from Los Angeles County to make the L.P.G.A. Tour.  LA Times writer Diane Pucin best described her feat stating "Whether or not Lizette Salas wins an L.P.G.A. Tour event, hers is already the American success story that so often seems part of a hazy, dreamy past."

Lizette's dream has been to be a pro golfer since she was seven and used golf to be the first in her family to earn her college degree. Salas chose USC. and was a member of the Trojans’ N.C.A.A. championship team as a freshman in 2008. She was named the Pacific-10’s freshman of the year and a second-team all-American.

She learned to play golf at Azusa Greens Country Club where Head pro Jerry Herrera says that "Her swing is natural," and "Her work ethic is remarkable."

Salas was recently quoted as saying that she wants to follow in the footsteps of L.P.G.A. Superstar Lorena Ochoa to help influence Latina girls beyond just learning how to play golf.  She wants to teach girls that failure is not an option.

Months after being kicked out of their encampments, organizers of several movements are calling for a "Spring offenisve" to take place globally.  While it appears that it's died down, police arrest 73 or more protestors in Zuccati Park.  The occupy movement helped launch Occupy Our Homes, a group that assists citizens at risk of losing their homes to foreclosures.

The Stream just reported that "The Occupy movement has faced a financing problem in recent months, which has led some wealthy progressives to try to contribute funds. The Movement Resource Group, whose board is led by Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's, has so far raised about $300,000 in support of the Occupy movement."

Occupy Wall Street has begun a regular Friday training for activists planning to join the May Day actions.
