QUOTES: 

“God-fearing girls don't gatekeep. I wrote this book because I want to share this as a gift to my community. Everyone always asks me about mentorship, and how they take their idea and bring their idea to fruition. This is my way of giving you the blueprint.” – Monique Rodriguez

“Lifting as we climb. I am someone [who] loves to mentor, I love to really help people elevate their thinking, achieve things that they didn't think were possible. That is what I find joy in.” – Omar Goff

“We didn't come from a background of seeing entrepreneurs or seeing black people that looked like us, that were successful and running and operating multi-million dollar businesses. We saw our parents who struggled... but we knew early on, from a very young age, that we wanted to do something different.” – Monique Rodriguez
