I have always admired the way women put outfits together.

My biggest influences are strong, creative women that chart their own path, lead their own lives and drive the course of history.

It's important to look people in the eye and have direct conversations. I actually have a rule that if an issue takes more than five sentences to explain it, don't send an email. Pick up the phone instead, because it'll take less time to resolve it.

I am inspired by life, past experiences, what's to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions.

Someone's energy and aura and soul are so much more important - they don't compare to what you have on.

Choose something that you're passionate about. So for me, that's creating jobs for women who don't have a voice. I would like to be their voice until they're strong enough and on their feet to have their own and really be heard. The way that I can do that is not necessarily by hand-outs, because my hand-outs wouldn't be great enough to really affect change. It's by providing jobs.

Everyone should work; it's good for the soul.
