Along with items from her new boxing line, she will be unveiling to the public her first collaboration with historic boxing belt company, SARTONK®. The JennieGirl™/SARTONK® According to SARTONK® Founder and President, Edward S. Majian, “JennieGirl™ In addition to the JennieGirl™/SARTONK® The JennieGirl™ brand was born out of Ms. Walker’s personal transformation at the boxing gym, when she lost 30 pounds working with her personal trainer, a former Olympic boxer from Guyana, John Douglas. During her sessions at the gym, she felt there was no interesting boxing apparel or gear just for women. According to Ms. Walker, “Most major boxing companies all had the requisite "breast cancer awareness pink" option to their apparel and gear, but I did not like pink. And, the women's breast cancer movement had done such a good job marketing their cause, it was hard to look at pink hand wraps and boxing gloves and not think of the underlying disease. I wanted to wear something that reminded me I was strong, resilient, passionate, fearless, focused and dedicated. I found those feelings with the color black and the JennieGirl™ logo. “I knew I could bring something special to the women’s boxing marketplace with my JennieGirl™ brand. First rule of the brand - no pink! Black, a favorite color of New Yorker's and of myself, would be the color base from which all else would flow. Red, the color of passion, would be the branching out point and White, the color of renewal, would symbolize a fresh start.” said Ms. Walker.
