Have you ever thought about the legacy you're leaving behind? When you're working for a company or organization, your focus is on their community culture and goals. But as an entrepreneur, you get to choose your own. You get to decide what you want to be known for.

She emphasizes the need for balance, the power of saying no, and the value of continuous learning.

And, she gives us a bunch of Queer Black Women Entrepreneurs that we can follow and support.
