Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My newest tattoo is an ornamental peony on my shoulder, the first piece of a sleeve for my daughters. Bold and beautiful, like them. It’s more than ink, it’s armor. A tribute to the chaos, strength, and softness of motherhood. The final piece will feature two butterflies, symbolizing their growth and transformation. This sleeve is our story, raw, evolving, and unapologetically real.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it’d say I’ve lived through it, felt all of it, and kept moving. It’d talk about raw growth, messy beginnings, and chasing freedom without a map. It’d honor bloodlines, broken moments, and bonds that never break. Some of it screams meaning, some just exists, because not everything has to explain itself.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use the $25,000 to support my family and raise strong, confident women in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. Every step we’ve taken together has been about growth, resilience, and love. This would give me the chance to create more stability, more meaningful experiences, and a foundation they can build their own power on.
