What comes to mind when you think of the word “joy”?
The word joy… it’s about life … to be happy from the inside and out… keeping a smile on your face.
What does it means to be confident?
To be active in who you are…to be sure in your gifts…to be driven in your thoughts.
Can you identify the time in your life when you began to totally accept yourself and all of your flaws?
To be honest it was only the last decade of my life. I began to accept who I am, how I was made up from others raising me, and how I was made up from my environment from growing up. I believe that all of my flaws didn’t mean that I wasn’t perfect or there was something wrong with me, but it was just a flaw. And in relationships and friendships those are things we have to either accept from another person or it could be a deal breaker.
What do you admire most about yourself?
15 years ago I lost my husband and I just had my daughter while I was living in a state with no family. It was one of the hardest things I had to deal with to move forward, but it was because of my faith that I’m still here. It was because of my faith that I’m still in my right mind and I’m thankful.
What would you tell your younger self or someone who has yet to discover her worth?
I would tell my younger self to take your time, to be patient with exactly who you are. When you begin to enjoy the journey, you begin to know yourself and that’s when you can discover your self-worth. Be confident in who you are and allow yourself to know your flaws and walk in your own truth.
If you could identify a celebrity who you believe exemplifies a Chosen Covergirl, who would that be and why?
It would be Mary J Blige. We all have a story to tell and her life journey has been amazing, good and bad.
