Her Interview
Ten minutes with Dr. Kimberley
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my mom who was strong and God-fearing and poured into us after my dad passed. She told me I can do anything and I believed her. My faith in God also gives me my drive.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Your calling is not everyone's calling. Make sure you get the right people. It's going to be some times you have to do it on your own until God sends you the people that you need.
