Influence Of Aunt Kim

Ever since I was a little girl my Aunt Kim has played a major role as a positive woman influence on my life.

She was raised in a traditional household and has a modern traditional household for herself, while holding down working and being an amazing mother and homemaker. Unlike most woman, my aunt does not suffer from self-esteem issues due to her positive woman influences of her mom and older sisters.

My aunt truly is an amazing, strong, beautiful female figure in my life and I am so fortunate to have had her as a role
