IBG: What is the biggest motivation behind your brand?

IBG: How do you define success?
FS: Being able to spend time with the ones you love in the ways you would love to without worrying about the financial implications.
IBG: What has been your biggest challenge and how have you surmounted it?
FS: My biggest challenge has been a mental one, I’m a tough critic of myself and I’ve had to learn to be kinder to me. Becoming more involved in prayer, meditation and exercise has helped in keeping my perspective balanced and reminding me even if I stumble, I must just begin again. This applies in all areas of life.
IBG: What would you say has been your biggest success?
FS: This is a tough one because there’s so much I want to do still. I think my proudest moments have come from working and laughing with my support systems in life and seeing them be proud of the work I continue to do. So my biggest success has been building and cultivating a team spirit with my work colleagues and in my family life. Team work makes the dream work.
IBG: Which women do you crush on and why?
FS: Hmm… that’s tough. The first person to come to mind is Yvonne Chaka Chaka because of the way she has used her platform as a Singer to elevate the human condition of so many. A champion of many causes including the eradication of Malaria, Aids and Poverty.
The Women in my life are my next major source of inspiration, from Mumsie to my Sisters Ifeoma, Barong and Bodam, my Aunts my friends. They collectively teach me so much everyday about how to be a better Woman and I love them so.
