Being over 40, I embrace the wisdom and confidence from lived experiences. I love how this stage of life allows me to focus on what truly matters—empowering others, pursuing my passions, and living purposefully. It's a time of strength and clarity, where I fully own my journey, grow in resilience, and approach every challenge with the lessons I’ve learned. I’m more determined than ever to make an impact, and I love how this age has brought me a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by prioritizing self-care, maintaining a positive mindset, and continually pursuing my passions. Surrounding myself with supportive people, like family and friends, keeps me grounded while staying active, eating well, and nurturing my spiritual and emotional health keeps me strong. Embracing new challenges, learning from life’s experiences, and giving back to my community remind me that true beauty comes from within and is reflected in how I impact the world around me.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I would expand my advocacy for homeless women veterans through Final Salute, Inc., support essential services like housing and job training, and invest in outreach to raise awareness. I’d also grow my business, Ghost Rider Media, LLC, to help more veterans succeed. Additionally, I would donate to my youth nonprofit, Northwest Georgia Young Marines, empowering young people with leadership and life skills, ensuring a lasting impact for veterans and future generations.
