Single mother with daughter that battles mental illness. I created a non profit to bring awareness to mental illness & suicide prevention.
We would like to thank you for supporting Torie Nelson 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 love the maturity I gained from life experiences. I focus on what makes me happy and care less about what others think of me. I have a fierce concept on life's richness. I understand life has its ups and downs and I embrace the change that comes with it. I'm not afraid to pursue my passions and be impactful to those around me.
How do you stay fabulous?My mental health is important. I stay fabulous by taking care of my mind and body. I like to walk around the lake near my house 2 to 3 times a week and take in the essence of nature. I visit museums and appreciate the creativity of art. I take trips alone to reset my mind and release stress. I love to date myself and speak affirmations daily. I encourage other women to be the best version of themselves. Being fabulous is in everything I do.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I had 40,000, I would host a free event to bring knowledge to the community for Mental Illness and Suicide prevention. I would also invest in a building to create a living space for young homeless women that battle mental illness and provide free care. It's not receiving the money that matters it's what you do with it while you have it.
