Victoria would be proud: MMA fighter Angela Lee on late sister and mental health initiative

In an emotional interview with The Straits Times a week later, Lee said: “As fighters, we have to portray this image that we’re the best in the world, where we’re so strong, where we’re on top of the world.

Encouraging others to speak up about their battles is just one way Lee, mother to two-year-old Ava, hopes to help. One chief executive officer Chatri Sityodtong told ST that mental health is not solely a MMA-related issue, but applies to other sports as well. The Singapore-based outfit will engage in various initiatives to support the cause, such as fundraising and having athletes visit schools to speak to children about mental health.
