Born in San Francisco Ana Julaton was in awe of the Honor of having a day named after her. "I'm in shock! The positive energy I receive in the Bay Area from all my fans and supporters, I truly feel honored and humbled by the amount of encouragement everyone here in San Francisco gives me and my team. It continues to make me believe that change is upon us and I'm fighting for more than a belt every time I step in to the ring. In this wonderful city where I grew up, there is no barrier that cannot be broken!" said a very emotional Julaton.
