Ava Monroe

This book is about my dream of meeting Muhammad Ali…and the journey I took to get to him and so much more. It's a book about faith and determination…about love, friendship, and gratitude. It's about a woman making sports history and how to hold steadfastly to what you believe. My experience in this book is symbolic of anyone's dream to meet someone, to be someone…or to touch the sky without a ladder. This book is representative of every prayer that reached heaven…on the wings of faith. Join me as I give you an inside look at a Muhammad Ali that the world has never seen.

Muhammad Ali fascinated a little girl with his fancy footwork in the ring and caused her to fall in love with the sport of boxing. Her biggest dream was to meet Ali. Though destiny had something even better in mind. That little girl was Jean Dancy. The Alabama A&M University graduate studied English and Psychology. Jean is grateful to have worked as an Actress, Model, Make- up Artist, Jazz Singer, English Teacher, Sportswriter, Motivational Speaker, Life Skills Teacher, Real Estate Broker, and Certified Mediator. However, her most outstanding accomplishment happened when she made boxing history by becoming the only woman to become both a Boxing Manager and Boxing Promoter. Additionally, Jean is the first female to manage and later promote an athlete who was also her husband. Under Dancy's management, Marty Monroe soared to a #4 world ranking in the Heavyweight boxing division. Throughout her career, Dancy has received recognition for her achievements. Some of those achievements include being named "Woman of the Year" in sports for her accomplishments in the boxing business; and being honored for becoming a member of the multi-million dollar circle of salespeople as a Real Estate Broker. What about Muhammad Ali?--and destiny? Jean didn't just meet Ali, she became the only female boxing manager in his Deer Lake Training Camp! As a Sportswriter, and boxing enthusiast, Dancy has connected with some of the most elite boxers, trainers, and promoters in the history of the sport. That list includes Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Don King, Evander Holyfield, Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns, the Mayweathers, and many more.Jean Dancy is the mother of a lovely daughter.
