Hardest life struggle you’ve had so far and how you’ve overcome it?

Each stage of my life, I’ve had different struggles. But all of them are part of my journey as a work-in-progress. Struggling to find out what it means to be myself, was hard but I discovered that is often the best way. When things get bad, that is when I learnt what I was made of, that I could be strong. I surprised myself with the actions that I took to overcome the problems, the perseverance to keep on going through the difficult moments. despite the many tries and many failures, I always try to emerge as my best self.

Jen and Joyce is wearing Nonya collection

If you get a chance to go anywhere in the world and do anything together, where & what will they be? 

The Skies the limit, the world is our oyster. Seeing the northern lights dance, sleeping in an ice palace, glamping in a wild safari, doing our part to save the environment like picking up beach trash, dancing in Ibiza, being one with the mountains sky sea and forest and a yoga retreat...I think Jen and I are very open to new experiences, so anywhere or anything we do will be an adventure we will both enjoy. I will probably need to discuss this with her to get more specific on where and what.   

What do you think about #Fempowerment? What are the efforts you have done to support women in your life?

I give a gift of myself and my friendship. I listen to other women share their life problems, use my resourcefulness to help them find solutions at times, just hold the space at others when that was needed. I encourage other women to be bold and grow their strengths or skill sets. And when needed, I provide financial support.  I have 2 girls I am trying to raise strong and powerful being who they are by walking the talk myself and loving them for who they are. That is a lifelong effort and where my biggest efforts will lie.
