Her Interview
Ten minutes with Antoinette
01What do you attribute your success to?
The people I've been blessed with - friends, family, and mentors who see my potential and support me even when I don't see it myself. They stay behind me when I feel like things won't work out.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Never give up. There are a lot of cloudy days and times when you feel like everything is falling apart or have imposter syndrome, but take life one step at a time. As an ambitious person, it can get overwhelming, but things get better if you keep going.
