Connect What do you love about being over 40?

I love being over 40 because it brings a sense of wisdom and confidence that I didn’t have in my younger years. I’ve learned to appreciate the small things and focus on what truly matters—my relationships and personal growth. I feel more empowered to pursue my passions and embrace new opportunities, and I take better care of my health, which is something I wish I had prioritized earlier. Overall, this decade feels like a time of freedom to be authentically myself.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by embracing new adventures and personal growth. I love exploring hobbies, traveling, and trying new things. Right now, I’m working on my third book, which highlights the stories of others to show that we’re all in this together. I’m also proud of my second book, Invisible Tears, which focuses on my own journey. By blending these creative projects with new experiences, I create a life full of excitement and purpose.

What would you do with the $40,000?

If I were to receive $40,000, I would dedicate $20,000 towards my pending surgery to repair my lower jaw, which was shattered by a bullet during a brutal attempted murder. With the remaining $20,000, I would commit a portion to support someone else in need, while using the rest to alleviate my medical bills. This approach allows me to prioritize my health while simultaneously making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
