What do you love about being over 40?

To be real I didn’t think I would be here to see 40. I’ve been through a lot with health issues since a teenager that made stronger. I’m not as strong as I was since having cancer but, being over 40 has taught me grace, self love, not thinking about things that don’t affect me and just be yourself at all times. Don’t let anyone take your shine or break you down. Life is crazy and it will throw you through the roof you just have to come through the fire without smelling like smoke! I’m fabulous !

How do you stay fabulous?

First and foremost with God on my side I'm going to always be fabulous. I love fashion and skincare, so it has me looking like a million dollars. Skin care is a must without your skin glowing you can’t shine and I’m going to stand out without speaking. I’m an all around person and my energy attracts people and makes them feel the need to give me my praise. I have an imagination that makes me want to do different things. I stand alone and I’m highly confident. Put them pieces together and shine

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would have to give some to the cancer society to help them with financial assistance. I would also use some for a payment for a house. I’ve always wanted to be a homeowner and I’m going to continue to try until I get it. Being that my grandma has always helped me if I need her she will also benefit from this as well along with my mom. A piece will be set aside for the baby that God is going to bless me with but, if it doesn’t work out it will be divided up for my nieces and nephews. FamilyWin
