During 2019-2020 I had 4 cardiovascular surgeries. I started Blu Bird Boutique to supplement my income and in 2023 I opened my own salon.
We would like to thank you for supporting Tonya 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.
I have better boundaries with work and friends..I enjoy being able to travel more. With life experiences you learn what to prioritize more and simply enjoy the little things.
How do you stay fabulous?I eat at home as much as possible. I enjoy a light workout a couple of times a week. I do my best to protect my peace. Keeping your stress level down can help with so much.
What would you do with the $40,000?I currently sponsor a leadership with the Department of Corrections. My goal is to help fight back against violence and recidivism. I am also a self employed single mom and foster mom. I would take my kids on a vacation, invest some back into the business, and use some for more educational materials for the incarcerated individuals.
