What do you love about being over 40?

I was raised by a single mother who was a victim of child marriage, dowry, and domestic violence, and I have never met my father. Throughout my life, I struggled with being a people pleaser, carrying significant trauma, and navigating toxic relationships. On my 40th birthday, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent two years of intensive treatments. During my recovery, I practice self-love & self-care. I radiate hope, positivity and strength to fellow survivors. Life begins at 40 truly

How do you stay fabulous?

I conduct “Breast Cancer Awareness” talks and campaigns within Microsoft and various support groups. I have received multiple beauty pageant titles and practice “Beauty with Purpose” by contributing to community welfare. I collaborate with several organizations, including DIEPC Foundation, FlutesnFeather Foundation, Ampowering, and Swecha Organization, to support women globally.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I intend to donate this money to organizations that I support, with the goal of making early breast cancer diagnosis and treatments accessible, promoting women wellness, and providing financial stability to underprivileged women communities globally.
