“We have to work smarter. A lot of times we'll do something because we feel that other people can't do it. But it's often because we don't have structures and systems in place for them to do it.” - Makisha Boothe, Founder of @sistahbiz
“We have to consider that we don’t have to play by the rules that were built to govern how we move. I am a rule breaker.” - @Sherrell_Dorsey, Founder of @tpinsights
