Stubbs is my role model, because I have seen her struggle for success throughout the years. Even after having me at 16 years old, she was able to make a difference for so many others. She has never made it about herself, but she always made it about others. Her love for God and people shows everyday, and she has the confidence that every woman should have. I have seen my mother cry behind closed doors, but walk out in the public eye as a strengthened individual. I want those qualities and I want to follow in her footsteps. That's why she is my role model.Something interesting about you: I am a corporate woman, who loves to wear tennis shoes.
