Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kay
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think just being resilient and keep walking. Life throws so many challenges at you and it's easy to collapse or just give up or do the minimum to get by. Having a vision of abundance has kept me going even when I don't feel it or struggle to get up in the morning after a setback.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be resilient, be strong, be focused. Don't let anybody change your game. Listen to people who have good information for you and discard the rest. Seek out a mentor. Carve your path and keep walking no matter what.
