Her Interview
Ten minutes with Linda
01What do you attribute your success to?
My perseverance and continuously being a fighter who wants to grow, along with my son August who gives me that light and perseverance to do more than what I did yesterday.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Never give up. There's moments where there's gonna be doubt and different afflictions that could create you to stop and not keep moving forward but really just every day waking up with the same goal, the same mindset, and once you get to that goal, just create a new one and get to that one until you reach the top level, and at that point, have that gratitude for yourself and for everyone who helped you get there.
