GIA DUKE INTERVIEW:

What did you want to be when you grew up?
”As a little girl I wanted to join the circus and fly on the trapeze and I used to write jingles for commercials and sing them with passion into my mom's tape recorder or perform SNL skits over the weekend just for fun. The college me used to say I wanted to be a spokesperson for a company that was making a difference.” 

What 2020 has taught you about your business, or being an entrepreneur in general?
”How important self-care is if you’re a compassion/empathy-driven person. You gotta take care of you first before you can help others.”

Anything you want to say to “Women In Business”? Or those that aspire to start a business?

“Don’t let someone tell you it can only be done one way. There isn’t one way, only your way.”
