It's about more than physical beauty. It's about the beauty within. That's why I need your help to win 💜

I have to admit that as a woman over 40 juggling multiple chronic illnesses, a career, a non-profit, and a business, it's never been about appearance to me. I fought to make it to over 40 with resilience, compassion, and advocacy. For me, that is real beauty.

🪞My appearance has often worked against me.
1. I am black.
2. I am a woman.
3. I don't look sick.

Looks can be deceiving, but the inner person is what really matters.

If you choose to vote for me, consider who I really am. My mom blessed me with beauty, but God blessed me with everything else that has helped me redefine what's possible for me. 🙌🏾

🙏🏿Use your free vote today and each day until the competition ends in December so that I can continue to support mission to raise awareness to autoimmune disease and to empower others to not be defined or limited by illnesses.

Hello, I’m Catina, and I’m honored to be part of the Fab Over 40 competition!

This journey is about more than beauty—it’s about resilience, purpose, and the power of using our stories to inspire others.

1. A Cause Close to My Heart
At 40+ (or well past 40), I embrace the idea that life isn’t slowing down—it’s stepping into a new chapter of strength, boldness and authenticity. I’m living proof that beauty, ambition and impact aren’t limited by age.
If I can win this, it’s not just about the prize—it’s about helping redefine what being “over 40” looks like and celebrating every day we have.

I’ve lost more than one family member to breast cancer and had my own personal scare with atypical ductal hyperplasia, precancerous cells that increase your risk of cancer, so this cause is deeply personal. Supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation through this competition means standing for awareness, early detection, and the importance of regular screening—especially for women over 40.

2. Redefining What 40+ Looks Like
Life after 40 has given me clarity, confidence, and courage. I believe age is not a limitation but an opportunity to thrive, redefine beauty, and live with intention. I want to show that strength, purpose, and grace only deepen with time.

3. Advocacy and Impact
As the Founder and President of Inflamed Sisters Thriving, I advocate for women living with chronic and inflammatory diseases. I’ve dedicated my life to creating spaces that empower women to find strength through struggle and hope through healing. Winning this competition would give me an even greater platform to continue this advocacy, amplify awareness, and celebrate the resilience of women everywhere.

4. Your Vote Makes a Difference
Every vote not only supports me but also contributes to a greater cause—helping those affected by breast cancer receive the care and resources they need. By voting, you stand with me in honoring those we’ve lost, uplifting those still fighting, and empowering those committed to prevention.

Thank you for believing in my story and for helping me use this moment to make an impact. Together, we can show that beauty, strength, and purpose only grow stronger with time.
