What makes your style stand out?

I’m a sparkly, sequined, rhinestoned, glitter diva who has never compromised in style since I was little. My legacy lives in raising two beautiful, vibrant, elegant, free thinking daughters which gave me my greatest joy. I stand for all Free Spirits who will never compromise. Never let them take your wings, fly ever upward and forward.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

To attend a Runway show in Italy or Paris- or even better, walk amongst the many who stand strong and advocate for all injustice and who through their indomitable faith, give gratitude for each and every day.

What would you do with $20,000?

A personal health crisis sent me from a steadily employed full time Mom/girl boss to a frightened woman fighting against companies who could not care less if I even survived. Through a battle last year, strength prevailed- but each month I am put through red tape and fight to endure each day. Through this award, I will use it to pay down debts, help with my daughter’s college loans and be an advocate for others like me, who continue on with a smile,no matter what storms you are facing.
