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

I am really focused on how I can improve myself and the world around me.

I would not invest in any shoe that is too trendy.

Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls.

I'm always trying to think of ways to provide jobs and money through what I'm already doing. Charity can be overwhelming, and some people think you have to be Bill Gates to really make a difference momentarily or you have to be Mother Theresa and give up Western life, but you can just incorporate it into your everyday life.

Not everyone has to be a model and a designer, there are so many other options that are great and long-lasting. It's just finding what you're good at and being honest with yourself.

I dress women the way I see them and the way I envision them from day one, thus my customer knows that what she is looking for she will get.
