MS: Any other projects you are working on?
Being a mother of two beautiful daughters, I believe that family should always be first. That’s what I’m trying to showcase in my children’s picture book & a cookbook published for my husband’s Judicial Campaign in 2012. I am working on an expanded version of the cookbook and am waiting for a very talented illustrator to complete the artwork for my adorable children’s book so we can be published.
MS: What motivates you to keep going?
Empowering women entrepreneurs, I believe all industry sectors are missing out on the unique skills and insights that women have to offer. Companies must think about board renewal and succession planning, and recruit more of the experienced and skilled women that are out there.
MS: What’s your recipe for success?
I believe in hard work, innovation & believing in your dreams while pursuing them with passion- and using the innate talents we were born with to magnify success and happiness. Forget about the past and move forward.
MS: If you would give advice for a woman entrepreneur, what it will be?
I believe everyone has a journey; we have the power to create our destiny and exit any trap we may fall into. There’s nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals. I have overcome insurmountable adversity and won’t let getting knocked down, knock me out. I’m still standing. Regardless of the obstacles you may face, you have to keep positive, the world won’t change unless you
change it.I hope to inspire other women and girls to work harder to break through more glass-ceilings and push for leadership and board roles in tech and other businesses.
MS: Can you tell us more about your personal life?
My personal life is focused on choreographing goal setting, having vision and lofty aims are vital to being all we were created to be. It’s important to me to never lose sight of what I am personally trying to achieve and be responsible for, while focusing more on the things that matter most in my life; for example, my husband, Texas State District Judge Craig Mixson, and my two amazing daughters. Consistently helping provide support to womens leadership, children’s needs as a past Board Vice President of CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocates & now Advisory Board Member, other charitable groups, people with cancer, health issues e.g. Auto-Immune Diseases such as Lupus, etc., helping non-profits, supporting our precious US Military personnel.
