01What do you attribute your success to?
My faith in God, my family, my support system, my fiance, and most of all my audience, my readers, fellow writers, and people like you. It takes a village and my success comes from giving and helping others.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Just be humble and get all that you can get as far as knowledge and wisdom. Don't be afraid to step out on a leap of faith and get involved with the unknown. Network with people who align with your goals and help others. It's not about what you can see, it's about the journey and discovering more than you imagined.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Autonomy to pursue and accomplish whatever you set out to do. We all have different paths and obstacles but can have prosperous and peaceful lives. Giving in order to receive, being a vessel to help others and communities.
