Over 5 Decades of Breaking Barriers in Sports and Media
Bring a true trailblazer to your next corporate event, convention, or organization function. As “The First Lady of Boxing,” Jackie Kallen has spent over 50 years shattering the glass ceiling in one of the world’s most male-dominated industries. Her life story is so remarkable that it inspired the Paramount feature film Against the Ropes, starring Meg Ryan.
From her early days as a powerhouse entertainment journalist interviewing iconic legends like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson, to managing multiple world championship boxers (including legendary champion James “Lights Out” Toney), Jackie knows exactly what it takes to survive, thrive, and dominate against all odds.
