Maureen Shea was born and lived in the Bronx in New York. Her dad was a cop in the NYPD and her mom is Mexican so Maureen is American and also Mexican. Many of the boxing family known her as the “Million dollar baby”.
Maureen had to learn to defend herself from a very young age. She was a girl who had problems at school, she had a hard time socializing because of her explosive personality, but what really helped her to channel all his stress was boxing.
She had to use boxing as a method of defense since she had to confront many abuses, both psychological and physical. She normalized it because she didn’t have a guide and besides, she lived in a world where these issues weren’t touched, so she also had a toxic relationship where she also experienced many situations of violence.
Fortunately, she managed to get out of these situations and today she is a successful woman who is able to realize that what she was experiencing was not something that she could overcome.
