(Los Angeles, CA / May 15, 2025) — Jolene “The Valkyrie” Hexx has built a career defined by resilience, self-reinvention, and unshakable determination. As a model, performer, and three-time Lingerie Fighting Championships (LFC) belt holder, she has carved out a space where strength – both physical and emotional – becomes power. But behind the fighter is a survivor whose journey began with a decision to fight for herself and her child.
Her warrior instinct was forged long before she ever stepped into the LFC cage growing up in rural Illinois, and after leaving her roots behind, she embarked on a spiritual retreat to Israel, where she was introduced to Krav Maga, setting the foundation for a career in combat sports. While working in executive protection, she stumbled into Uganda’s underground MMA circuit, compiling a 14-4 record before transitioning into professional fighting.
But Hexx’s toughest fight came outside the ring. “Unfortunately and fortunately, I’m a domestic violence survivor as of 14 years ago,” she shares. “It wasn’t the typical story of staying in an escalating violent situation – although there were signs of mental instability. Instead, it was an attack early one morning on me and my 3-month-old infant, which resulted in an attempted homicide/strangulation charge and imprisonment for my child’s father.”
With parental rights terminated, Hexx faced single parenthood head-on. One week after the attack, she attended her first Krav Maga self-defense class, still bruised but determined to reclaim control. “Self-defense wasn’t just about learning how to fight, it gave me the skills to protect myself and my daughter until the sentencing hearing,” she says. “It was a turning point. It led me into the ‘strong girl’ niche career I have today, one that financially provides for my family and allows me to own my strength.”
Hexx has since turned survival into success, competing in combat sports, performing in independent films, and modeling for print and online publications. In March 2025, she celebrates another milestone, gracing the cover of Playboy South Africa, an achievement she calls “a highlight of my modeling career.”
Through every chapter – fighter, performer, mother – Hexx refuses to be defined by her past. “I have survived, I have built, and I have thrived,” she says. “My story is mine, and I own every piece of it.”
