EVDG: Well I must say you are doing great handling both a mom and a business. Is there a hero in your life? MS: It's kind of hard because it would be between my father who escaped from Vietnam during the war to bring us here to have this great life because he didn't want us to have the life he had when he was growing up. Then there's my sister. I am the baby and she has given me so much advise on business and life. She was like a mother to me if it wasn't for her I wouldn't of been able to do this. EVDG: What are you most thankful for? MS: I am thankful for everything I had. All the bad things that happened to me. My mother said” you must crawl before you walk. If try to take a big step first you will fall on your face.” I am thankful for the people that love and support me. EVDG: Any hopes you have for the city (Philadelphia)? MS: I think the community should do more for the kids. The children need guidance. And fix the potholes (laugh) I need a wheel alignment now but seriously more activities and rec centers maybe. EVDG: Yes, maybe this will get the few athletes or entertainers would come out and get involved. With that being said what would you like to see in the EVDG? MS: I think what you guys are doing is great but we need more role models because these young girls have no role models or guidance and need to see that. Someone needs to be setting examples they see classy women coming where they come from and you don't have to show it off and you can make it too. EVDG: That sounds good Thank you for doing the interview. MS: Thank you for having me. “I think the community should do more for the kids. The children need guidance. “
