I battled through cancer, lost my job, started a biz, embraced single motherhood, and cooked 1000s of meals for those in need during COVID.
We would like to thank you for supporting Machiko Harashima 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 and clarity that comes with being over 40. I've embraced my journey, learned from every challenge, and cherish each moment with a deeper appreciation for life.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by focusing on self-care, surrounding myself with positivity, pursuing my passions, and tackling challenges with resilience and optimism. Balancing work, family, and personal interests keeps me energized and fulfilled. I also love listening to music, doing art projects with my kids, taking nature walks, and experimenting with new recipes.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I'd pay my bills, reunite with my mom in Tokyo after years apart (since Selter-In-Place), donate money to the Love 4 Lucas Foundation (https://www.love4lucas.org/) that was started by my brother when he lost his 6-year-old son to brain cancer, and save $20,000 for my kids' education.
