The telling of a good story, especially one that is real and true, is always exciting.
Money is important yes, but not the most important. I don't need money to smile or breathe. I would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.
I come from a huge family and out of all 34 of my immediate family members, my heavier influences were women. Between my grandmothers, aunts, older female cousins, and of course my mother, I was pretty much predominantly raised by women, as they make up most of my family anyway.
Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.
As for super-stardom, I can say that I'm ready for anything. I feel like I've mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don't see that energy changing anything.
I think I unknowingly seek people who are better than me in the sense of strength and wisdom. It's like I've got to know and trust that you have the answers and that you can carry me if needed.
I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I've got to be coached by the best.
My friends are me and in essence better than me, they help me be better even when they don't know it.
People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital. Tweets are published in less than a second, Safari pages load in less than three seconds.
All of my friends are independent in thought, that's important.
I'm reminded everyday that I was born to do great things, I believe that and when it's my time I shall.
Life would continue to exist and grow. Cause and effect still exist even where there is no time.
I just simply believe in having purposeful relations, period. That's what its about at the end of the day. However, I do appreciate people that are individualistic, mainly because I'm an impressionable soul and my friends become my big sisters and brothers in a way.
My friends are a crayola box. They highlight different colors of my being, representing different aspects of my personalty, I've noticed.
I think friends are an extension of you and I always say, check out a persons five immediate friends and you'll know everything about them.
I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.
Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.
You're sort of forced to include this aspect of culture into your life whether it be for social reasons or business purposes.
You're not surviving if you're not on social media, period.
I admire many women that have come before me, heavy influencers such as Oprah, such as Beyoncé, and I'm witnessing the fruit of their work and experiencing their legacy now and they're not even close to the finish line.
Everyone has a different route to success, recognition, and peace. Don't be afraid to move instinctually.
I do everything I can on a daily basis just so I can have something to give back to the world.
I don't admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.
The difference lies in the intention behind wanting money. Your reasons for why you want to create more money is typically why you're ambitious to get it. You're either genuinely ambitious or selfishly hungry.
I refuse to accept the idea that money is evil. People make things evil and negative. Some people love what money can do and therefore would do anything to get it, they love the power, they chase it, while others understand what money can do, therefore they do what's in their hearts, they understand the influence and attract it.
