3. How do you deal working with unreliable people?
A: Honestly, I don't deal with unreliable people. If an incident occurs where someone proves to be unreliable I never work with them again. There's no room for unreliability in what I'm doing.
4. On your free time, what do you do to stay in your land of zen?

6. What achievements are you proud of?
A: I am mostly proud of the last big event I coordinated, 'Makeup & Mimosas: Beauty on a Budget'. It was my first event that I funded myself, planned myself and produced myself. It was a lot of hard work and the turn out was beautiful for me.
7. Any shout outs?
A: To my mom and my grandmother for always being so supportive of any endeavor I chose to take on.
8. How would you describe your personal style of fashion?
A: The way I would describe my personal style would be minimalism. I like simple silhouettes, I love neutral colors; black, gray, olive green, tan. I like my look to be effortless but transitional from day to night ... Year to year.
9. As a woman in the entertainment business how important is it for you to be respected as a black woman?
A: It is very important for me to be respected as a black woman in the entertainment business. I feel young black women in general, have a harder time in this industry simply because it is white /or male dominated. Dealing with people who aren't young black women such as myself, I sometimes get this overbearing sense of being underestimated and under appreciated. So I know I always have to carry myself professionally and work twice as hard to gain the respect I know deserve.
10. What is a hustler?
A: In my opinion, a hustler is someone who puts in hard work, genuine effort and dedication into anything they're doing to gain a better quality of life. Most people I know hustle so that they can own their own business(es), move their parents to a better neighborhood, their children live comfortably, and so much more.
