We had the good fortune of connecting with Danteé Ramos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danteé, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
I believe that in order to know when one should keep going or give up depends on the person. Everybody has their own journey but your WHY should be the fire burning inside of you. If you’re only searching for fame, you’ll always want to give up once you’re not receiving instant gratification. I trust that what is meant for you will never pass you by. It will come, maybe not on your terms or timing but it will come.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
