Laila Ali is retiring her gloves and trading them in for a reality show- and NO we're not talking about a second stint on Dancing With Stars. After almost winning the dance competition, Ali has become a regular in the homes of America. From being on the CBS Morning Show to co-hosting American Gladiator, she has found a new passion in being on the big screen. Her new show, however, is one with a deeper purpose. She is currently working on a new Nickelodeon show called "The N's Student Body." This show follows a group of teens who are changing their lives by dieting, exercising, volunteering, and improving their academics.
When speaking with VOA News, Ali explained that the teens really look up to her. "Every time I make an appearance, I'm always going to be a positive person, just a role model. I've been doing that since I first became a public person."
And when asked the GOLDEN question of will she return to the ring she replied: "I got bored with boxing. You can't fight forever. You get older... I want to do other things."
~It's good that the "other things" she's doing includes helping today's youth because that is one hard fight to take on- Great job Ms. Laila~
