TB: Professionally, I want to continue to enhance my skillset. Personally, I want to travel more. I find inspiration when I travel. CM: What do you think is the biggest issue for women in the workplace in 2016? TB:
The
gender
pay
gap,
double
standards, lack of opportunities and the list goes on. CM: What advice can you offer women who are seeking to start their own business? TB: Realize that success never occurs exactly how or when you want it to. Seek people that have accomplished what you are trying to do. Study them, learn from their mistakes if you can. Don’t be too hard on yourself. When you are chasing your dreams, you are bound to have a few setbacks here and there. Don’t be discouraged, it’s part of the process. CM: What can attendees expect from this year's Sisterhood Showcase? TB: To be empowered and entertained. My team and I have put so much into planning this year’s event, it’s going to be one for the books. CM: Planning the Sisterhood Showcase is a year-round affair for you. What is an average day like? I can honestly say no two days are the same. I could be planning a commercial shoot one day and then answering emails from sun up to sun down the next. I have grown quite used to hearing the words “ma’am, we have never done that before” and equally used to saying “okay, let’s figure it out!” If you had to choose a second career, what would it be? I would be a psychologist; I am fascinated by people. I am intrigued by what causes them to do things they do and what makes them tick.
