Her Interview
Ten minutes with Monica
01What do you attribute your success to?
Prayer is number one. Seeking good counsel, never leaning on my own understanding, never think that I know it all. People are assigned to help you grow.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Always protect your name and your brand, what you stand for. Don't slander another business or another person out in public. Know your self-worth, your self-value, and never lower your standards.
