QUOTABLES:“We sometimes dismiss the care that we actually need, or just are so busy fighting that eventually our health and things like that can break down. So I think it's really important to have communities like this and businesses like this that are catering to women who are always extending themselves to others.”“The only point here is to make black women feel supported and cared for. There's enough outside of us that we all have to combat on a day-to-day basis. We don't have to do that within.”“Rejection is going to happen to everybody, it just is, including people who you see on TV, rejection happens every day, including CEOs, including all of us. But what is the passion behind it? And what are you doing to implement the plans that you create?”PRODUCTS / RESOURCES:Felix Gray Glasses - 21st-century glasses made for modern, hardworking eyes.
