"When I thought about celebrating my 40th birthday, so many ideas came to mind, including from my amazing team. But this time, I wanted something not just lavish like I’ve done over the years... I wanted something truly memorable and impactful."
"The theme was #Chika40Smiles, because I wanted to empower 40 women and make them smile. It was important for me to do this at this point in my life. I’m a mom now, in a different space and season, and I wanted to celebrate in a way that reflected that," she wrote in part.
