What other woman do you admire most?

My mom, Carla, and sister Brianna are the greatest examples of poise, class and street smarts that I could ever have to light my path. They are, and will forever be, my blueprint.

What’s something others would be surprised to know about you?

I grew up in church. My parents, Robert and Carla were pastors, and I learned to be comfortable in front of an audience at a very young age.

What is your proudest achievement?

Making Amazon’s bestseller list with “Would You Love Me If,” a book my nephew and I authored together. Being an aunt and a godmother are some of the greatest gifts I’ve been given in this lifetime, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

What lessons have you learned from working in your field?

I’ve learned that you have to always keep a pulse on what’s happening around you. Engaging with people in a memorable way is the always the BIG difference in our work.

What do you love most about what you do?

I love that I have the opportunity to work alongside homegrown talent with an expertise in storytelling. Highlighting their talent and seeing an impact through the work we do, makes my heart full.
