My cousin said it best, “Suzanne, you took off your hair and found yourself.“ It was a long road, but I love who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Suzanne Igoe 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.
Everything feels aligned. For the first time in my life, my mind and body are in perfect harmony. Being diagnosed with Alopecia as a child felt like “a why me situation”. Now, it is “Thank God it was me”. I got my 1st wig at 17. Self-conscious, I needed strength. A bald head contest at 19, gave me that. I took myself so seriously when I was younger. Being 50 is truly fabulous. I have let go of what others think of me and stopped comparing myself to others. “Comparison is the thief of joy”
How do you stay fabulous?To maintain a fabulous lifestyle, I prioritize self-care. Healthy eating and regular exercise are essential for me. I also love to stay creative through hobbies like West Coast dance, candle making, and cooking. Humility and giving back are equally important, as they keep my heart fulfilled.
What would you do with the $40,000?I believe in paying it forward. I see my staff working so hard to build better lives. I'd like to give them a bonus as a token of appreciation and to help them strengthen their financial security. Covid taught me to be prepared. I would love to give myself a safety net as well.
