What is the biggest motivation behind your brand?

The desire to help female owned businesses gain clarity and confidence towards building a bankable brand.

Success for me, means becoming all that I was created to be in every aspect of life.  (Spiritually, Mentally, Financially, Physically, Socially and Emotionally)    

What has been your biggest challenge and how have you surmounted it?

Growing up, i used to be painfully shy, I had very low self-confidence and I was very introverted. Now I wake up every day with a purpose, positive mindset and a resolve to live intentionally.

What would you say has been your biggest success?

My biggest success till date is becoming a better version of myself daily.

Terri Savelle Foy, Jumoke Adenowo and a host of others.

I hope, I made God, my husband, children and generation proud. 

What advice would you give your younger self?

I would say chill out…I am proud of the woman you are becoming. 

What advice would you give to women everywhere?
