Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing her world through her eyes. Witnessing her resilience, sense of humor, and her incredible mind. Watching her navigate life in her own way, proving there are no limits to what she can do, is the greatest gift.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

Malia's first concert was unforgettable. She played a guitar solo of "Island in the Sun", and it was amazing! Everyone in the crowd was hooked. When she introduced herself in the start, she had this natural crowd control, getting everyone pumped up and cheering for the band to perform. By the time she started playing, the whole room was on her side, totally vibing with her. The cheers at the end were so loud, and I couldn't have been prouder. It was a moment I'll never forget.

What would you do with $20,000?

I'd donate to charities supporting the visually impaired and disabled and save for Malia’s future. As a mother to a blind and autistic daughter, advocating for these individuals is close to my heart. I know from experience that they often don't receive the attention they deserve. Donating $20,000 to these organizations would help provide much-needed resources and support, offering these individuals more opportunities and assistance.
