1. What does Phenomenal Woman mean to you? 
Being the best woman you can be! Never giving up and always striving to be a better you. Motivating and inspiring others to believe in themselves and being a true GOAL DIGGER. Being knowledgeable and always willing to be open to new things. A woman that makes mistakes, learn from them and handles her business.

2. What is your brand and how did you get started? 
 My brand is called Double O Styles. I am a fashion/style blogger, image consultant, stylist and online boutique owner. I have always been obsessed with clothes and shoes. I started working around clothes and fashion in college. After I started my full-time corporate life, I started dressing up as if work was my runway. Dresses, heels, face on fleek and people started to notice. People would always tell me I should start blogging and styling people for their events. I brushed it off at first but after hearing it repeatedly I just took a shot at it. I started blogging and I knew this was just the start of really showing my passion.

3. What is your dream goal and how do you plan on achieving it? 
This is always at the top of my mind, “What is my dream goal?”. Honestly, this is kind of a tough question. There is so much I can do and want to do when it comes to fashion. I hate to limit myself and I always feel like I need to think BIGGER. Currently my dream goal right now is having my own clothing boutiques in major cities and I dream of styling people who are big balling like Beyonce & Jay-Z or low-key rich people like Bill Gates and his wife. Lol I want to be a fashion icon and go to special fashion events with Rihanna sometimes! To achieve this, I know I must keep pushing myself to promote my brand, boutique and try to take my styling to another level. Going out to interact with people, facing fears and just continue to build myself up! God will handle the rest! AMEN! 



4. Name a moment that inspired you to feel more confident and inspired you to be comfortable in the skin you are in.   
Every time I have to host an event, the feeling I get afterwards when I’m done is amazing. Public speaking was one of my BIGGEST fears! Honestly I still get a bit nervous but the more I work at it, the better I feel. I’m more confident and inspired to be in front of people and bring those positive vibes. I love my personality but hate to hear my voice so it takes time and being able to get pass being nervous makes me feel so good and satisfied in who I am.

                                                        5. Name a person (dead or alive) that you look up to and why? 
Beyoncé!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEE that lady down! I call her my sister and she is truly my inspiration. She is so determined, driven and sooooo ambitious. Beyonce is non-stop, she keeps going and every year she is evolving and gets better and better. My sister Beyoncé is the definition of phenomenal woman in my eyes! #TeamBeyHive

6. When it comes to being a woman, what do you feel should be the three core values that a lady should uphold?  
Confidence, class and purpose. Confidence in yourself, class to be able to carry yourself in a way where people respect and believe in you, and what's the point of living without a purpose?

7. Favorite quote and what it means to you?  
 Can’t stop, won’t stop! No matter how long it takes, I won’t stop working towards my passion UNLESS GOD tells me to. Other than that, I find it important to not give up no matter what gets thrown your way. You may fall off a bit maybe but do you just give up? NOPE! Just bounce back and get it right!!

8. Piece of advice that you would give to young girls who aren't confident with themselves? 
Be true to yourself, your feelings and whatever your fears/flaws are try to do the small things that will eventually help you to become better and more confident. It won’t magically happen over night but you will get there as long as you keep believing in yourself. Understand nobody is perfect and we all have flaws. You only have one life to live just continue to LIVE, LEARN & GROW!
