What makes an idea great?

I believe what makes an idea great is that the idea has a clear and concise purpose that resonates with people in a meaningful way. A great idea is often one that clearly satisfies a need or solves a problem, is the enhancement of an existing idea, and/or is profitable or marketable.

You are a diehard fan of…..

Investigation Discovery and AE channels. I love watching crime shows and following along the investigation. I generally can solve the crime along with the detectives. I also am very interested in the psychology of others and like to get an understanding of why some people do the things they do and why others exhibit certain behaviors based on experiences or environment.

Mountains or Beach?

I prefer the beach – I love walking in the sand and staring out into the ocean. I prefer a more secluded beach to relax and enjoy the fresh air and calming sounds. I’m not sure if the fact that I’m a water sign has anything to do with my choice, but the beach rules over the mountains for me!!

Favorite Historical Figure?

Madam C.J. Walker is one of my favorite historical figures. She was orphaned at the age of 7, and through many adversities, she overcame them and became America’s first black self-made millionaire. She achieved her wealth by developing a range of haircare products that led her across the country and abroad.
