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“. This distinction was for a reason; she is a mover and shaker and has just been named 2021 Mrs. New York America. In November, 2021 she will compete for the title of Mrs. America.
Jessica is a health care worker, a spokesperson for Duchenne muscular dystrophy advocacy, and a serious Taekwondo Black Belt competitor. She has been actively involved in the expansion of the Sports Poomsae movement in the United States and competed as a National Team member. She has been balancing all of these commitments in the midst of becoming a new Mom.
She talks to Marc Zirogiannis, in this episode, about her entrance into the Taekwondo world, her love of Poomsae, and pageantry, and her passion for muscular dystrophy advocacy.

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.”
