What do you love about being over 40?

What's not to celebrate about life after 40. Forty is the new twenty, I'm feeling energized and looking vibrant. I proudly serve as an inspiration to many, representing the indomitable spirit of single mothers, cancer survivors, domestic violence survivors, and Americans with disabilities. My life was impacted by complications, specifically a Nuchal Cord. from birth, yet I've emerged stronger

How do you stay fabulous?

I reject self-commiseration regarding my birth trauma, having reframed it as a transformative experience that fuels my accomplishments. By openly sharing my life, heart, and soul, with the world, I hope to empower at least one person to acknowledge, accept and cherish their singular identity, embracing their uniqueness with love and confidence. From My Heart. #bebrave.betru.beyu
