Rouge Dior is my favorite when I want to make a statement. If running around throughout the day, I adore the Modern Matte powder lipstick in Nude Beige by Shiseido.

My Can’t-Miss Podcast is…

Empathy! I thrive on improving my ability to understand and share feelings of others. I have been most blessed and inspired by the many people I have met throughout the years, from different cultures, religions, ethnicities, geographics, and backgrounds.
