At 42, I embrace my fabulousness as a proud Puerto Rican woman, single mother, student and aspiring business owner.

Watching my 16-year-old daughter, who recently participated in the 2024 Miss New York Teen USA pageant inspired me and has brought me a profound sense of confidence and self-acceptance. Since 2020 I’ve lost 100lbs which has made me more aware of my strengths and less concerned with others’ opinions. Each day feels like an opportunity to grow, learn, and enjoy life’s rich moments. This chapter is all about living authentically and celebrating every achievement, big or small.
How do you stay fabulous?When I’m not busy building my business, I cherish time with my family and love exploring new places through travel. I believe age is just a number, and my experiences and ambitions only amplify my vibrancy and zest for life. By embracing every moment, I continue to redefine what it means to be fabulous over 40.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I won the $40,000 I would allocate the funds strategically. First, I’d invest in my aesthetics business. Next, I’d prioritize my daughter’s education, setting aside funds for her future. We would take a much-needed family vacation. I’d explore real estate opportunities to secure a stable investment for our future. I would save a portion for emergencies and donate to breast cancer research. This win would not only empower my entrepreneurial journey but also strengthen our family’s foundation.
