Clarify your life and understand your own compass for where you want to go and who you want to be.
1. What were some obstacles that you faced in the beginning process of starting your business or career?
Some of the obstacles that I faced in starting my business was fear and putting everyone else’s wants and needs before mine. I would put so much time into taking care of others, I never really had time to stop and focus on starting my business. I absolutely knew that God was calling me to do great things in my life to help and to serve others, however, the fear of how I would accomplish and execute my purpose became a roadblock at times.

2. What inspired you to break into your particular industry?
I currently own an independent record label. My husband and I stared the label after so many years of doing management in the entertainment industry. What inspired to start Spiritually Provoked is that I have a love for people. I was a teenage mother and I have to overcome a tremendous amount of obstacles. God has done so much for me and has brought me to a level of success in my career that I never imagined I would be. I just want to inspire and help others accomplish the same.

3. How do you balance your personal and professional life or have you been able to find a balance?
I balance my personal and professional life through spiritual guidance, exercise, and spending time with my family. I always maintain a prayer life, I involve my family in what I do, and I stay away from negative people so that spirit is not affected. “For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required,” (Luke 12:48). I live by this scripture because as women, we have so many tasks to complete so I just do what I need to do to get it done. We can do it, that's what we are made of.

5. Who were some influential people or mentors that helped or encouraged you along the way?
I feel like powerful women all over the world influence me. My aunt who held one of the highest government positions in LA County, Mona Scott-Young, I love that she has expanded her brand to so many different entities of being an entrepreneur. I think my biggest encouragement comes from ministry.
