She Said with Susan Dupar DeCorey

ALPHA GAM VOLUNTEER ROLE: President, Dallas Alumnae Chapter

CHAPTER & YEAR OF INITIATION: Epsilon Phi–Texas Women's University, 2001

OCCUPATION: Lazerkinetic Specialist at Performance Sports Medicine with Dr. Sherine Reno. I'm also the Owner/Founder of Athletic Beauty which allows me to help others through beauty, fitness, dance, products and services.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT SERVING ALPHA GAM: I began my journey with Alpha Gam as the first African American in my chapter. As a past Alumnae Development Specialist Coordinator for the Volunteer Service Team and now Dallas Alumnae Chapter President, it is so rewarding to inspire other women while allowing my voice and vision to be heard. Sisterhood is a wonderful thing.

INSPIRED BY: My mom, Susan Winfrey Dupar, has been an inspiration to me throughout my life. She is a strong, confident and amazing mother of five whose career has included dance, music publishing and paralegal service. She inspires me to be my very best and a strong woman who radiates confidence and maintains a healthy work/life balance.

CURRENTLY READING: Ballerina Body by professional ballet dancer Misty Copeland and Secrets of Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker.

LATEST BINGE WATCH: Bridgerton on Nextflix! I love the beautiful gowns and elegance of that time period, as well as the strong character of all the women characters. Duke Rege Jean Page isn't bad either.

CURRENT OBSESSION: The color red and anything that sparkles.

ON HER DAY OFF: I enjoy watching fun animated movies with my husband, Justin. I also love to choreograph, dance and compete. I was crowned Ms. International Texas in 2019 and have received a number of other titles. Competing in pageants allows me to express my love of dance.

DREAM JOB: I'd love to own a model agency. I enjoy empowering and inspiring women of all shapes, sizes and ages to feel strong, healthy confident and beautiful.
