Words We Live By...
Kiara: "My mentor and former boss, Mitzi Carter, instilled in me a powerful mantra: 'Despite adversity, perseverance and diligent labor pave the path to triumph.' With her unwavering guidance, she has stood beside me through every twist and turn of my career."
Nick: "This is a piece of advice I learned from a movie, it goes: 'You leave a mark on the world just by living through it.' Whenever I’m having a rough go, I repeat this quote to remind myself that the simple act of living life is noteworthy and worth celebrating. By living life, we are bound to impact those around us, grow relationships, and create something meaningful - whatever that may be."
