What makes you the Next Runway Star?
Learning to love myself again, and hold myself accountable and forgive myself for the bad decisions that I’ve made have grew my confidence! I helped my sister who owns a boutique often and I really enjoy it! I enjoy building other women up and making them feel good about themselves!
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
After going through a divorce, loosing everything to addiction, going to prison, changing my life and rebuilding myself and my life for my children, and currently have started a support group, I feel like this would be even more proof to those still struggling that change is possible! My one goal in life revolves around helping others do this exact same thing!
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
Being able to use my story to help others learn to love themselves and take the initiative to take their life back as well!
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
I would love to one day to open a restoration house! Help others not only change for a moment but completely change and learn how to be a productive, loving citizen again!
