Hometown Honey

“I love living in the Queen City (as it is locally known),” says Perkins. “There is always something to do, like attending a Carolinas Panthers game or Charlotte Hornets game. Also, I enjoy hanging out downtown with the fellas. In Charlotte, you are a short driving distance from the mountains and the beach where I always go swimming.”

Business Minded

“Since I believe in multiple streams of income, I earn money several ways,” Perkins reveals. “I’ve mentioned day trading, modeling and acting. I also had my own real estate business which has kept me motivated to have multiple lines of income and to have investment diversification.”

Parental Guidance

“I have always had a good relationship with my mother all my life,” Perkins shares. “She has instilled in me a lot of love and I’m forever grateful for everything she has taught me. My dad and I haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, but despite the differences, we can still talk about the important events in my life.”

Keep Pushing

Huge Heart

“I enjoy giving donations to local charities and actively support the Breast Cancer Foundation,” says Perkins. “Statistics illustrate that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime. For more information about breast cancer and volunteering opportunities, please visit NationalBreastcancer.org.”

Southern-Fried Memories
