How would you describe your brand in three words?
Authentic. Cultured. Fearless.
How can women change the narrative of negative stereotypes as it pertains to Black women?
I don’t believe in wasting lots of time trying to change someone’s opinion or negative views. The reality is, we live in a world where some people will place judgement based on their own insecurities.
In terms of self-care, what are three things women can do to preserve themselves for a healthy future?
Pray [or] meditate, schedule your self-care day or times on your work calendar and drink
water.
What are two responsibilities that you have when it comes to being true to who you are?
Always use my platform to help motivate, educate and elevate others. Make time for the things that make me happy, bring joy and keeps my peace.
What skills and insights do women of color add to corporate boards or to C-suites?
I believe in diversity of thought in board rooms that are making decisions. Diversity and inclusion shouldn’t be just words, but actions to help all work forces reach maximum success.
What two things can you share that you’ve learned from failure or from being uncomfortable?
I’ve learned not to fear failure but to embrace the journey. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am if I hadn’t experienced failure. Whether that’s in business, family or relationships. We all have our own humble journey. Run your race at your pace.
The words “yes” and “no” are very powerful. How can women use both words to help themselves excel in life?
Say yes to the things that inspire, challenge and bring you joy. Say no to negativity, giving up or giving in. We only move forward!
Name three women historymakers you’d like to thank for their contributions to society.
