I served my community as a nurse for 20 years, became an entrepreneur, traveled the world, kept fit, and raised a beautiful family.
We would like to thank you for supporting Josette Simpson 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.
I love the confidence, foresight, and wisdom that has come with being over 40. I look in the mirror and celebrate the beautiful, smart, kind woman I have become. I’m grateful to be able to share my life experiences to help educate and uplift other women.
How do you stay fabulous?For physical health, I exercise regularly (walking, lifting weights, Pilates) & maintain a healthy diet. My skin care regimen includes retinol & Vit C & regular visits to my aesthetician for microneedling with USRF. I also learned how to apply makeup. For mental health, I rely heavily on my faith. I have also learned the power of giving grace. Extending grace to others can help alleviate stress, anger, and anxiety. I also find time to do the things I enjoy versus always trying to please others.
What would you do with the $40,000?Fighting breast cancer is my passion. My grandmother who raised me died of breast cancer. I’m a hair salon owner & I’m working with a breast surgeon to start a wig line for cancer survivors. Health insurance will cover the cost of the wigs, so women won’t have to pay out of pocket. I would use the money to purchase a wig inventory & hire staff to set up medical billing. I want to help women feel beautiful & confident after beating cancer so they can live with dignity & thrive- not just survive.
