I love the freedom of knowing that for many women 40 feels like uncharted territory, which also makes it the perfect opportunity for the adventure of self discovery! I’m more confident in myself because I’ve actually been through things at 42. I’ve not only survived, but thrived. After I turned 40, I stepped fully into who I want to become. I’ve never felt more free!
How do you stay fabulous?I read a lot which might not sound like the obvious first step to fabulousness , but being informed about fashion, beauty & culture helps me to curate my personal style by finding new inspiration to refresh my aesthetic in unexpected ways that feel authentic rather than solely trendy.
What would you do with the $40,000?I will donate $5K to local charities which serve BIPOC & LGBTQ+ women & girls. Use $15k to fund my 2025 Year of Culture. My Year of Culture would include supporting Female led or centered musical & artistic endeavors in my city/ region by attending local music, art & cultural events & bringing other women who may not have experienced them or had access to funds to attend as my guest. Save/ invest $15k in Roth/IRA. $5k fund for my Cont. Ed & to publish photography project.
