The Shift:
Who is a woman who has inspired or mentored you, and what lessons from her influence have stayed with you?
Vee:
My mother has inspired me to become the woman I am today; she is the true definition of Empowerment and has shown me that the glass can always be half full, depending on how you frame things, the people you have around you, and the level of self-belief you learn to have. She is my superwoman.
