Her Interview
Ten minutes with Janise
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think really what drives my career path is just my passion. I really love what I do, and I don't think I would do it if I didn't love it, if I didn't have like a passion for it, for sure. And also just given myself like just short-term and long-term goals, and so far I think I've literally surprised my own self.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I think the best learning experience now that I'm like you know I just turned [AGE] this year. I think literally just go for what you want. I feel like a lot of people hesitate on their career path. The goal is too hard to obtain and I just feel like there's no such thing. You just gotta keep trying and you don't give up. Once it gets hard because it will get hard that's when you gotta try even harder. So for the most part I think just go for it and don't give up don't be discouraged. Be it's okay to be scared but do it scared. Do it anyway because a lot of people let that fear stop them from you know getting their blessings and stuff.
