1WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR AUDIENCE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU ?

Personally , I love all-things-fashion ! It brings me great joy to simply walk inside a fabric store , or to walk inside a boutique located in a small town . In addition , I ’ m absolutely in love with small dogs . I ’ ll walk up to a total stranger to interact with their dog . Relatively , my audience needs to know that I ’ m super approachable . I love to help people anyway I can with career advice , fashion tips and / or self-esteem motivation .

WHAT
DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR CAREER IN ENTERTAINMENT ?
What I love most about my career is that I ’ m able to still be very social . Growing up , I ’ ve always been outgoing and sociable , so now that I ’ m able to still be myself AND get paid is a blessing .

3WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED IN YOUR CAREER THAT YOU HAVE NEVER ANTICIPATED ?

I ’ ve been working in news , media , the entertainment industry , etc . for about a decade . Therefore I ’ ve had to prove myself to men and women , young and old , the minority and majority . Though I never anticipated constantly starting over . Unfortunately , there has been no such thing as a lateral move within my career path ; which is difficult , but ultimately humbling .

4WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR ? WHAT MESSAGE ( S ) DO YOU HOPE TO SHARE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE IN THE YEARS AHEAD ?

I stand for class and professionalism . I never had to compromise my beliefs or morals to succeed . The next generation , “ the Instagram Era ” should understand that if you were raised as a lady or gentleman , stand your ground . Don ’ t feel the need to fall into compromising situations in the workplace or outside the workplace . Once a lady ; always a lady .
