We would like to thank you for supporting Jyotsana Pandya 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.
Not having to worry about what people think of me. Coming into my own without any inhibitions. Choosing my lifestyle and purpose in life. Learning about what makes me happy, claiming my personal power. And most of all, knowing I can make a difference.
How do you stay fabulous?Pursuing my passion of gender equality, eating well, and staying physically active. Not allowing others to dictate my life path, how I dress, what I do with my time and money. Claiming personal power brings out one’s inner beauty.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would keep $20,000. Donate $ 10,000 to Zonta International, and the rest of $10,000 to an after-school program I support in the Dharavi slums in Mumbai, India. My passion is giving opportunities to the less fortunate because I believe we become who we end up becoming because of the opportunities we got because of where we were born.
