Being fabulously over 40 means living boldly, loving deeply, and knowing your worth, while still being excited about what the future holds!
We would like to thank you for supporting Yvette Perez Medina 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.
What I love about being over 40 is that there's a freedom of no longer sweating the small stuff, loving my skin I am in and realizing that life is a continuous journey of growth. Being 43 with 1 daughter and 2 grandchildren made me empowered and I am so blessed to have them. I couldn't imagine that life was so much different and I truly believe that life begins at 40. It's about knowing who you are, what you stand for and owning your individuality. I love it!
How do you stay fabulous?I will embrace my life with confidence, wisdom and a sense of self that's been honed through my experiences. I will carry all my lessons learned from the past with grace while staying open to what's next. I will continue to empower myself taking risks and living unapologetically. I will continue to cultivate deep relationships especially with my family lastly, I will achieve my goals and discover passions which makes my life more fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?Sending money home is something I plan to do if I'm fortunate enough. We had prolonged flooding, so I will donate to our church as well as my family and relatives. My mom also suffers from a chronic illness. And for myself, In order to be able to continue helping my patients and caring for them independently without relying on my charge nurse, I would also like to advance my career to registered nursing.
