In case you aren't familiar with what makes Morley amazing — and it's a lot — she started boxing at age 40, and, in July of last year, won the masters division of the National Golden Gloves as a light flyweight. Morley shared on her blog that she retired from boxing in May of this year, self-aware enough to know to do so at a high instead of a low. Now, she has more time to focus on her work as a teacher, writer, and filmmaker. You might know her from projects like her documentary Fight Like A Girl, which includes a personal, vulnerable look at her own struggles with depression. Not to mention the fact that it's proof that Morley gives everything to every new project she picks up.
