I am a breast cancer survivor, mother of 2 and female founder. Embracing aging gracefully & living intentionally. .
We would like to thank you for supporting Gina Lamanna in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
What I love about being over 40 is how far I’ve come as both an entrepreneur and a mother. I've faced the loss of my father, breast cancer, and divorce, each challenge making me stronger. I embrace every wrinkle, dimple, and scar, aging gracefully and loving myself. I know my self-worth, value my independence, and have a clear sense of what I want in life and relationships. Life is short, and I’m focused on savoring every moment while pushing myself beyond my comfort zone.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by surrounding myself with supportive women, and my daughters keep me young at heart. I’m driven by my true purpose in life, which keeps me grounded. Getting dressed daily boosts my mood instantly, and I love dancing and moving my body—it keeps me feeling alive and vibrant.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would likely put the $40K toward my kids' education or take them on a memorable trip. I’d also allocate a portion to my nonprofit, supporting our mission to help women heal and thrive after breast cancer treatment.
