As I do these series of spotlights on female entrepreneurs, I thought that this would be a perfect time for all of you to get to know ME.
My entrepreneurial journey began after seeing the TED TALK- Shonda Rhimes presented on the YES challenge. It inspired and motivated me to challenge myself, to dare to make myself uncomfortable and break out of my comfort zone. I decided to trust in the universe and challenge myself to say "YES" to opportunities that came my way. I knew there was going to be speed bumps along the way but instantly I felt a ton of weight off my shoulders just by making this decision.
I've always been very timid and shy... even as an adult. One of the first challenges that I accepted was to attend an event by myself. It was for a screening of the 2016 documentary Dream, Girl.
That first "YES" started a domino effect for other amazing "YES" moments. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. In the midst of viewing the documentary I had one of those "a-ha" moments... and it completely changed my life. What came about has been amazing...
