I love that being over 40 has allowed me to embrace my true self with confidence. I’ve discovered a sense of freedom and authenticity in expressing who I am. Whether in my career as a teacher, as a business owner, or simply as a woman comfortable in her own skin. It’s a beautiful time of life where wisdom, experience, and passion come together, allowing me to connect more deeply with those around me. Being Fabulous Over 40 is a mindset that anyone can embrace. It’s shaped by life experiences.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by nurturing both my inner and outer self. I prioritize self-care, whether through meaningful connections with my loved ones, staying active, or investing in my personal growth. Staying fabulous is really about staying true to who I am and finding beauty in every stage of life.
What would you do with the $40,000?With the $40,000, I would expand my businesses to reach more women who are looking for confidence and self-expression through fashion. I also want to give back by continuing in my mentorship of women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds like mine, to help them achieve their dreams. It’s important to me to create a ripple effect of empowerment, giving other women the tools and support they need to thrive
