I am a proud mother and lead coach, devoted to inspiring our youth through self knowledge, awareness and a growth mindset.
We would like to thank you for supporting Leonor Melendez 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 calmness that comes with age and wisdom through life experiences and established confidence. Relationships have grown more meaningful and my sense of self is secure and sensible.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous with staying active whenever possible and always prioritizing my family. I joke that my children “make me cool again” because they know the latest music and trends and ensure I stay up to date!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would like to donate a part of that money to the, “Thirst project” initiative that I help start at my last teaching job as a co-advisor for our student culture and diversity team. The initiative helps countries with limited access to clean water. I also would like to donate some of the money to my alma mater Ohio State’s DEI department that funds scholarships to minority students. My sister and I were recipients of the, “Excellence” scholarship so it will feel great to give back!
