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

Hi LEAH, how do you think about risk?
I am a FIRM believer in risk taking. You have to embrace risk! The hardest things for you to do in life is almost always the best thing for you to do. Most people have a fear of taking risk because they focus of what they will lose as oppose of focusing on what they will gain.

In life and career you must believe in yourself and you have to maintain a positive attitude in order for you to succeed. Living by this rule has 100% helped me take any risk head on. Be Fearless in the Pursuit of YOU!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I wanna dedicate my shoutout to the strongest women I know, my mother &. sister owners of Gymnetics Fitness and creators of the must have cookbook” Black Girls Gone Vegan”. These ladies have helped and motivated so many women even in times when they needed motivation themselves. They are the definition of fearless.
