I love being over 40 because I have had lots of time and experiences to know who I truly am. I love the woman I have become, accepting my flaws unapologetically and embracing my strengths with confidence. I love the wisdom and clarity that come with age—the ability to prioritize what truly matters and let go of things that don't serve me anymore. Relationships are more authentic because I’m clearer about boundaries and have learned the value of meaningful connections. I am now more focused.
How do you stay fabulous?I am a true believer that beauty radiates from within, so I focus on nurturing my mind, body, and spirit. I stay fabulous by prioritizing my well-being, both physically and mentally. I try to exercise daily, eat healthy, and practice yoga/meditation. My passion for empowering women, working with artisans, and giving back through projects like my fashion initiative keeps me energized and fulfilled. Knowing that my work has meaning and positively impacts others makes me feel fabulous.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would invest some of that in empowering women and expanding my social projects that support sustainable economic growth. , I’d set aside a portion of the funds to invest in an orphanage in Kenya for girls that I founded giving them a chance for a better life. I would use some of the funds for self-care...a much-needed yoga retreat to rejuvenate so I can do more good. I haven't had a change of wardrobe for years, this would be a dream as am now going to more events to promote my work.
