My mom has gone through a lot in this country. She came to this country in her early 20s, she got married, she got divorced, she became a very powerful business woman, but she's still very humble.
So the most important thing I would say is inner strength. And you will be knocked down in this life many, many, many times, but it's the rising, it's the getting back up.
It's always going to be graceful because it's your way. And so, that's the most important lesson that my mother has imparted in me.
What makes a woman beautiful to you?
Rosalie (Roxanne’s mother): Number one, self-confidence. Peace in our heart. Portraying happiness and positivity about life itself. You're gonna have feelings in life, but there is always a positiveness that is gonna come from it in some form.
As I always say, you have plan A, you should always have plan B. I always work my life like that. And things have always worked out somehow.
Roxanne: I know you've come through. So ask me what I think.
Rosalie (Roxanne’s mother): Okay, what do you think?
Roxanne: I think experience. I think experience, because you don't become a woman overnight, right? It takes a lifetime. So I think mistakes and how you rise up from them, and you've been a wonderful example of that to me. You have, really have.
And always being open to a new adventure.
Coming with me today is a sign of that. I know you're a humble woman, but I love the fact that you came with me today to share this with me. So I just...
Rosalie (Roxanne’s mother): Yeah, me too. I'm happy for that, yes, yes.
Roxanne: I think those are things that make a woman beautiful.
