She’s always striving for perfection in everything she does – from her art to her business to raising her twins as a single mom.

She struggled to find success, being constantly told she’d never find it – but now she’s one of the most recognized singers and actresses out there. Along the way, she lost a tremendous amount of weight, got in shape, and overcame major tragedy when her family was murdered. Simply put, she has beat the odds in a big way. All of this puts her in the over 40 category.
