My children and grandchildren are what makes me fabulously over 40! Being able to give back to them and my community running a nonprofit.
We would like to thank you for supporting Shareka Howard 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.
The growth, wisdom and knowledge of learning from my elder and being able to be not only a mentor to my own children but to others in the community. I love being over forty because it within all of these years I have been through so many obstacles and continue to development my strength and teacher other so that hopefully they do not have to make the same mistakes that i have made. But allowing others to know that even if they do go through something you grow through it.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by being blessed to have amazing family, that are supportive and loving. I stay fabulous by being able to not think of self but know what I can do and how I can make an impact on others' lives. i am fabulous because of the people I surround myself by, I am a believer of surrounding yourself around fabulous people determines who you are and how others see! I am fabulous because I am blessed to have a fabulous mother that has taught me to be a blessing to others.
What would you do with the $40,000?I recently have become disabled, and I would relieve some of burden from my husband to pay bills, pay for my daughter school tuition, help my mother to pay off her bills, help my son and daughter start their business and put money in our nonprofit to finally do our Winter Wonderland in the park we have been adopters of for past 14yrs to supply xmas lights, dinner and gifts for families. If anything is left, I would fix my smile, so I can smile with confidence.
