“Mentorship to me is a two-way relationship. If
you’re looking for them to only give to you, you
are looking for a suga mama and not a mentor.
As a mentee, it’s important that we don’t always
look to our mentors as what they can do for us.
Volunteer your time at their events, share their
businesses on social media, go out of your way
to support them because they need you too.
With that same mentality, pour into those
behind you. You have a duty be a mentor to lift
as you climb.”

“I have seven mentors and I’m a professional
mentor. Mentorship is all about having a pipeline
of current and relevant knowledge that assists
with the development of myself and my business.
Mentoring is more so for the development of
your soul/mind and utilization of your time rather
than being told what to do.”

“The best advice I’ve
received from a mentor
is to partner with those
around me and on my
level. So often we aim to
collaborate with those
that have MADE it
instead of those making
a way for themselves. I
believe those that are
in the current grind just
may be a tad bit hungrier
than those that have
already hit the top floor.”

“The best advice I've received from a mentor is to
always be prepared and do your research. If you
stay ready you never have to get ready."
