We are so excited to tell you about our dear friend and style influencer, designer, and female entrepreneur…Heather Parker! Heather and I have known each other since 2002. We immediately hit it off when we met on a choir trip to New York. Over sushi, we talked for hours and she quickly became a sister to me and even lived with me for about 6 months. Her family comes from Native roots, and they are seriously the most wonderful, kind, and loving family ever! We sang together in the Saints United Voices choir directed by Gladys Knight for over 15 years. We always shared ideas for businesses over the years and just love and support each other in our personal and business ventures. It’s so nice to have someone close truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur while still nurturing our families.
