Jackie Kallen is an icon of boxing, music and a powerful woman

Jackie Kallen is the central nervous system of the marriage between music reporting and boxing management.

As a reporter for almost 20 years, Jackie transitioned from being a premier music reporter to the first woman to manage world champion boxers at a time when a woman managing boxers was unheard of.

Through this incredible journey, Jackie compiled personal stories which include many artists like Cher, Kiss, The Temptations, Mick Jagger, Elvis, Michael Jackson with legends in the ring like James Toney and Thomas the Hitman Hearns.

Jackie is a pioneer for civil rights, women's rights and a shining example of how to turn adversity into beauty.

Jackie is the ideal role model for overcoming obstacles and keeping a positive attitude during times of intense adversity.

Special thanks to the great Ricky Nelson (musician...pull him up)...who gave the best advise ever to this beautiful piece of art when he advised her to be a reporter.
