Empowered Women – Volume 5

March 27, 2019

For this week’s Empowered Women Series, I’m introducing you to one of my OMagInsider sisters. Ali was also one of the “inaugural 50” with me when the ambassador program for The Oprah Magazine started back in 2017. I was blessed to have met Ali and another Insider in person when I was in Las Vegas with my family back in 2017. Ali has a beautiful spirit is always sharing some great inspiration along with gorgeous pictures in her Instagram stories that really inspire me. You can follow her here.

Tell us a little bit about YOU:

I consider myself to be a spirited, versatile down to earth girl that happens to have many diverse activities and responsibilities. I feel empowered in a sense, because I have been given the opportunity to live through many different challenges, more than some women may live in one lifetime. Nonetheless, this has allowed me to help other women in their journey. Confidence, setting boundaries, and being able to keep “getting up” after difficult or traumatic events doesn’t always come easy for many. Learning through the years how to get better and overcome in these areas has developed somewhat of a skill that I feel should be shared.  I am looking forward to publishing a book that hopefully assists in accomplishing this as well as setting up a “home” in Mexico that will assist young ladies (with focus on Tarahumara or Raramuri Indians) with “teen pregnancy education”, general education including English, minimal medical assistance, and living quarters with occupancy of 12 at a time (through pregnancy or if victims of domestic abuse). I am also a Spanish Interpreter and a mother to 4 awesome kiddos and a grandmother to triplets.

Favorite Quotes:

“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, They’re supposed to help you discover who you are” –Bernice Johnson Reagon

and

“Tradition and assumption are the greatest enemies of intelligent action” – Manoj Bhargaua

Biggest disappointment:

How complicated and more difficult we make things. How the government, laws, and society have changed the way we care for our communities and our earth. How challenging it is for human kind to support each other. The amount of challenges I have had to get permits, legalities, and assistance for my nonprofit home has many times been due to people and their personal decisions, not necessarily the law or what is right. Challenges that become bigger because of someone’s mood, opinion, electoral party of choice, corruption, greed, etc. Sometimes I feel we can actually ruin it for our future generations…

Because of fear of lawsuits, millions of pounds of food are thrown away daily instead of feeding the homeless, we have lost trust in others due to crime in our neighborhoods, at times we do not help or get involved due to fear of repercussion or possible consequence, or simply for lack of time and medias influence.

Favorite Piece of Advice:

We must live for today and water our seeds while we’re at it! – Metaphorically speaking. Pay attention to our thoughts and the value of time. Give attention to the impact our decisions, choices, and “investments” have in the life we want to create for ourselves. How much are we putting back into our friendships, our families, our goals, and our purpose? But most importantly, be humble and always, always, always… be grateful!

Favorite Collaboration:

My children!

I have had the privilege to work with amazing, famous, talented, clever and recognized folks around the world, but I must say my children and my friends can be brutally honest. They are big dreamers, full of inspiration, motivation and drive! The will get projects moving and will make sure we all have fun while doing them. We get involved in the community and plan collaborations that are infused with each of our individual talents. When my son creates music, videos or short films, when my daughter plans theatrical sets, or when we simply go with the homeless, get the family to set up a blanket drive or fundraiser… they are true bosses!

How can we support you?

Your support is greatly appreciated by “paying it forward.” I try to motivate people to stop for a brief moment and appreciate their surroundings: the sky, the flower, their homes, their hard work, their education, their “checked off tasks of the day”- pat yourself on the back! And then… give back. Get involved, somewhere, somehow. Then after that, if you have a spare minute or two, please send a prayer, good vibes, or happy wishes to the teen girls going through pregnancy around the world. – Thank you kindly x

Be sure to come back every Wednesday for my Empowered Women Series. Let me know if you’d like to be featured in a future post.

Just a few vacation highlights while we were able Just a few vacation highlights while we were able to enjoy some sunny outdoor fun.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.

Visit the @coldwatercreek website for all of their new Fall styles.

These beautiful pieces of clothing are crafted to fit us petites perfectly!

Just look at this gorgeous chocolate brown suede pencil skirt…😍😍

It’s the perfect neutral to go with 2 beautiful new cardigan sweaters (one is mohair and one is alpaca). The ivory sweater is wool and it’s one of my favorites from last year. 

Visit the @petitestudionyc website to shop these wardrobe staples that you’ll keep in constant rotation for years to come.💗

They’re slow fashion, investment pieces. More to come soon on the blog, so be on the lookout!👀
