August 9, 2021(NYC)– Bleav in Jessica Fabus Cheng. Jessica Fabus Cheng was listed as one of Taekwondo Life Magazine’s “10 Women to Watch“.

PHILOSOPHY

“In 2014 I watched Nia Sanchez give her final answer onstage at the Miss USA pageant. In it she mentioned how important it was to have confidence as a woman, with the importance of this taught to her early on in her Black belt training; I decided then and there that I wanted to represent this in pageantry, and to empower as many women as possible in the process. Today, I partner with organizations that uplift and encourage women to live their best lives as well as working daily with my own confidence-building program Everyday Empowerment for the Modern Woman, which is an effort to make an empowering lifestyle accessible to all. I credit Taekwondo for giving me the confidence I need to serve others in a powerful way.”
