Being in the entertainment industry, sometimes its hard to hold on to a sense of normalcy. With a schedule so hectic, there is no doubt your diet and exercise regimen will suffer at some point. Well in Laura Stylez case, its a little harder than the average person. If she's not off globetrotting the world for Hennessy, or hosting a party somewhere in the states you can always catch the lovely Laura Stylez, on the airwaves at Hot97. I've known Laura for about 7-8 years. We first met when I was a young buck trainer, and she was an associate producer for the Star and Bucwild morning show.
She recently hit me up wanting to start boxing again. This time, with a few more of her girls. She is part of the elite Heavy Hitters crew and and no doubt does she carry that moniker when she puts on the gloves.
