I am braver, more confident and more optimistic than before. I am prioritizing what really matters to me and while I may be late to the healthy “boundaries party”, I’ve arrived. With that, I’m embracing life with more gratitude and freedom.
How do you stay fabulous?For me being fabulous, timeless even, has been a journey of self-discovery and self-love. It's about nurturing myself —mind, body, and soul—with the same love and care I give to others. I make my health a top priority and treat myself with compassion. AND wearing suncreen, keeping hydrated (“hydrate or diedrate” is for real), sleeping consistently and basically “moderation in everything” is also paramount to feeling amazing when chronologically gifted.
What would you do with the $40,000?As a visual artist, I know creativity is intertwined with well-being. To execute my Dream Project, to start - I’d allocate funds toward a health and wellness plan. My Dream Project expands upon my work at New York Fashion Week, collaborating with influential fashion designers & the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion. I’d invest funds in my Dream Project, as well as support my work and evolution as a female abstract painter working on the world-stage in the visual arts.
