Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sade
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success is attributed to God. It has been fulfilling to give back and support individuals through trauma and challenges, recognizing the pain from personal experiences and planting seeds to make a difference even without seeing immediate results.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Stay consistent and always keep in mind the big picture. Sometimes things can be challenging or frustrating if you feel like things aren't being fulfilled for the individuals you're giving back to, but trust the process. Trust the process even if it's looking like you weren't expecting it to look, and never lose sight of that.
