One of my career high points has to be recovering from being humiliated in front of others. That was a moment for me as a woman because I cried in solitude. But I didn’t let it hold me down. I rose again stronger, wiser, and with more belief in myself.  

What was one of the biggest learning moments as an entrepreneur?  
One can never learn enough; thus, learning is necessary. Reminiscing on my experiences along the way, I’d have to say: Be willing to fail; be open to new opportunities; never stop creating; be generous; and always have faith in yourself
