Which women Inspire you the most?
I’m fortunate to have a wonderful tribe of supportive women who uplift one another. I’m also inspired by figures like Oprah, who embody strength and resilience. What truly motivates me are friends who genuinely believe in my work and respect my efforts, rather than taking advantage of them. Their honesty and integrity inspire me the most and remind me of the power of authentic connections.
What failure or setback are you most grateful for, and how did it shape who you are today?
The setback I am most grateful for was a challenging experience that tested my trust and judgment in personal relationships. I placed my faith in someone I believed would act with integrity, only to discover that things didn’t unfold as I had hoped.
This experience taught me invaluable lessons about discernment and the importance of setting boundaries. It strengthened my resilience and reinforced my commitment to authenticity in both my personal and professional life. I learned to trust my instincts and prioritize relationships that are built on mutual respect and honesty.
Ultimately, this setback became a catalyst for growth. It pushed me to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and to surround myself with supportive individuals who share my values.

What’s a misconception about women in business that you wish would disappear?
One misconception about women in business that I wish would disappear is the belief that women are less committed or capable than their male counterparts. This stereotype undermines the incredible contributions women make in various industries and perpetuates outdated notions of leadership.
Women are not only equally committed but often bring unique perspectives, empathy, and collaborative skills that are essential for driving innovation and success. It’s time to recognize that diverse leadership leads to better decision-making and stronger outcomes for businesses.
By challenging this misconception, we can create a more inclusive environment where women’s talents are celebrated and their achievements are acknowledged. Let’s work together to break down these barriers and empower all individuals to thrive, regardless of gender.
What’s your International Women’s Day message?
“Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere. Let’s honor the trailblazers who have paved the way and the everyday heroes who inspire us with their courage and compassion. May we continue to lift each other up, break barriers, and strive for equality. Together, we can create a world where every woman’s voice is heard, valued, and celebrated. Here’s to empowering each other and embracing the incredible potential within us all!”
