Top 25 WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Words from the Editor-in-Chief
Telishia Berry
Becoming an entrepreneur and launching your own business can be a bit scary, but it can also be rewarding. It certainly takes vision, faith, and drive to accomplish every phase of it. To be a woman in business, you must have a vision, then add the faith to help you believe that it is possible. You must be driven to go and to push yourself to make it all happen when no one else is there or cares. These 25 amazing women in business have proven not only to themselves, but to the world that they can do whatever they dream from stage and film producers, to therapist, to Interior designers, to book producers and more. I am honored to share Courageous Woman Magazine’s Top 25 Women in Business.
