Suzette Howe is a published author, and owner of ShowUhow2, serving businesses as a marketing specialist through digital strategies. She became interested in martial arts originally for self-defense but quickly gained a real love for the sport as her son became an MMA champion. Her childhood dream to become an author came true in 2018, as she was moved to write and publish a trilogy series about her experiences. She began with the stories of eight professional fighters and coaches in Book 1, Broken Before Battle: Changing Lives Outside the Octagon.

As a mother sharing her personal story of raising MMA champion and commentator Dominick Cruz, Suzette wrote Book 2, Broken Before Battle: Raising Champions for Tomorrow where she tells the deeper thoughts, mindsets and heartbeats of seven incredible champions and overcomers from across the globe. She feels honored because they took time to dig deep and share truths you won’t find anywhere else.

Some of these champions are parents who know they are modeling what they want for their own children. Part of her focus is to reveal the message about changing our thoughts and chasing our dreams no matter what happens in life. These powerful short stories are vulnerable and will strengthen families everywhere who are Raising Champions for Tomorrow.

Active as a mixed martial artist for eleven years until 2020, Suzette holds a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do, a white belt in Jiu-Jitsu, and is training in Muay Thai. She continues to train in MMA, loves to travel, and trudge through the outdoors chasing waterfalls with her husband of 25 years, and they have three adult children living their own dreams in different parts of the world.
