What do you love about being over 40?

The best thing about being fabulous over 40 is not looking like it! I have lived a good life and there’s so much more to be done. Each new year I am blessed to see is a new beginning. So, I appreciate the lessons I’ve learned with no regrets and live each year bathed in the love and beauty life is while helping others do the same..

How do you stay fabulous?

Living a healthy, humble, loving, peaceful, and stress-free life while surrounding one’s self by people who vibrate the same. More to me, I’m enlivened by my boiling passion to bring my unique form of diversity in beauty to society; showing this ever-changing world that there are no barriers to beauty. I love helping and reminding others to see this within. This ameliorated view will afford them the same happy and peaceful life within to be fierce, free, and true!

What would you do with the $40,000?

Since it would be a blessing, I plan to give back first by donating to my church and numerous charities for helping African children, women/children’s shelters, homelessness causes, the Food Bank, as well as to close family who need a little boost above water. And, equally importantly, I will take the time to travel and do other things for me which keeps me confident, feeling young, and not looking a millisecond over 40.
