How I Turned My Last $5 to $10,000,000
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2024
- The Cupcake Collection has become a Nashville institution, and its founder Mignon Francois a local hero. She built a $10 million cupcake business starting from almost nothing, and you’ll learn how she did it in this interview.
Starting a cupcake business? There’s no better place to get savings on tools like Canva, Wix, Vistaprint & many more: www.elevate.store/upflip/2
Mignon started The Cupcake Collection in the midst of the 2008 recession. She was experiencing a downturn of her own, and used just about the last $5 to her name to buy ingredients for cupcakes. Mignon wasn’t a baker, but she had her grandma’s cupcake recipe and a will to succeed. By the end of that first week she’d turned $5 into $600 and the growth snowballed from there.
One way Mignon made a name for The Cupcake Collection was by starting the Cupcake Bus, the first mobile cupcake seller in the Nashville area. In this interview, she talks about how she got that idea and why it was so instrumental in growing her baking business. She’ll also share how she found the first customers for her cupcakes and built her team-all without going into debt or taking out any loans.
After the success of her first shop, Mignon opened a new location in New Orleans. This new location was an opportunity for growth but it also brought new challenges. She explains how she overcame those challenges and the lessons she learned along the way. One thing Mignon has done from the start is listen to her customers and team, and she shares how that feedback has helped her grow her business to such impressive heights.

Where is HER TEDx ? 👀👀👀 I need to listen to her for more than a few minutes 🙏🏼 JUST AWESOME !!!!
I can guarantee you $5 was not all she had to her name and she, flipped it to $10,000,000,LIES!!!!
How can you have a secret ingredient? What if someone is allergic to that ingredient and they don’t know it’s in your cupcake?! That seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen! In my baking I list all ingredients!
@@rainesonne1320As I was listening to her interview, Her secret ingredient is Faith. What an awesome lady. She put Faith in what she want to do, And everyday of her is full of Faith ❤️
@@rainesonne1320 ma'am, she stated that it was her FAITH that was the SECRET ingredient, not a consumable ingredient.
I'm over here in tears because I paused on my baking business because I thought that wasn't good enough because of competition fear. I have people still asking when am I going to start back up heavy and I get fearful. This video gave me the inspiration to open my business again. I just want to hug her.
Girl go do it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
U got this! Get moving!
Get back to it! Abundance is on its way for you. 🙏🏽
Do it 🎉🎉🎉
OMG! Forreal. You bringing tears to my eyes. I am the SAME EXACT WAY! Culinary school and all. The anxiety and fear literally has me in a choke hold. I will do EVERYTHING BUT and I just dont know how to shake it. I work with children, teaching/instructing, make things for family gatherings, the whole nine but to put a price tag on it seems SO HARD! And I LOVE it but those feelings overcome that love most times
He missed a very crucial thing she said. She didn't say make your employees feel appreciated, she said give them a piece of ownership. Make them feel like owners - by having stakes in decisions, stakes in making profits, and shares of the profits.
I love how she doesn't see herself as being a benevolent boss who provides jobs, She sees this is a means for everyone to share in the come up. Her humility is awesome... AND profitable.
Precisely ❤❤❤
Cuz she's not like those rich kids being rich so easily with parents money she start right from being a labourer to a millionaire
Hence why she has to be there everyday making cupcakes 😂this isn't a business it's a hobby. 10 million in sales isn't profit 😂
@@moneymanifestation9505I don’t know who’s making 10 million in sales off of a hobby? Sure it’s no amazon but it’s definitely a successful small business. Ntm the costs of a store front bakery are quite low in comparison to that number. She literally made 60 cupcakes with $5 at the start, her margins are probably pretty good if she’s able to continue expanding.
@@moneymanifestation9505 Her goal was to be debts free.. and she reached that goal. It wasn't to make as much money as possible. People have their own dreams and visions of who they want to be in life. She is living well, has a roof over her head and food on the table each day. She got all she needs. We should be more thankful and not chase money.
This woman has taught me so more in 25 min than what my professors can in 3 hours
Mignon is an incredible mentor. We're truly inspired by her wisdom. 👊
Professors and universities and colleges purposefully lengthen lessons to make more money 💰.
@@UpFlip Thank you for sharing this video. I want to ask, how did you find her? Did she reach out to your team, or did you guys reach out to her? Thanks.
Joy is the secret ingredient and I can see it radiating from this woman. Just an awesome message. Well done!
No she says it is faith
jesus is the secret ingredient
Joy, faith, and Jesus are the secret ingredients. Sounds yummy 😋
As a previous business owner I agree when you treat your employees good they look after you!
Definitely! What was your previous business? ☺️
Look how taylor swift did her employees 😳 gave her drivers 100k each
This is not always true and business owners have to keep their discernment up. My parents owned a business while I was growing up and several of their employees who they treated like family turned on them because they started thinking they could get away with anything. Some people take kindness for weakness.
@@sassycat6487unfortunately alot of people do
@@sassycat6487 Yelp it's called GREED!
"Cause I believe all you have is all you need to get you from where you are to where you want to be." Those are words to live by.
That really struck me when she said that! So encouraging!
That part! Excellent nugget to stand on
True,"Start with what you have, where you are"
Needed that !
Amen !!!
Awesome! No debt, no loans - this is how many people handled their business during Reconstruction after American Slavery, as banks did not provide loans to Blacks and/or other People of Color. Another sad era of discrimination that still occurs today. Yet the human spirit cannot be defeated. You Rock Ms. Francois!!!
"I believe that every stupid thing you ever had to do is taking you from where you are to where you want to be." I burst into tears of joy! What a wonderful summation of having faith in life...and in yourself!
Ah, life is one big puzzle!
We used to be neighbors and I got to try many cupcakes , her and her husband family were so sweet to me when I was a single mom alone in Nashville ! Go Mignon Go!! ❤
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing your story! How are you now?
“Her and her husband” try she and her husband instead
Are the cupcakes special or was she chosen by God?
@@janettemarciabrown2145 is it that serious?
@nicknicholas416 l know, right???! Good question!! What's up with the Grammer police????😂😂 Just enjoy the story! JEEZ!
These are THE best cupcakes!! I've been a happy customer in Nashville since 2010. Mignon is awesome!
Had us drooling by just watching! What are your favorite flavors?
what are the ingredients? i looked them up and she doesnt post them. i hope its not a bunch of artificial food coloring. red-40/yellow 5. all of that is known to give cancer
@@ugabuga1361
Calm down.
@@UpFlipI need your assistance I wish to start up a side hustle
@@INGEN_Dahnie-el-aha-ha💯💯
My 11 year old daughter and I are growing our beverage business.
This woman's story is inspirational!
I was at the same point once, having almost nothing. But then I tried some dropshipping and got into it just like a side hustle. To be fair, it went better than I thought. I left my regular job after half a year because I was already earning at least 15000$ per month from dropshipping :) Remember that consistency, strong will and hard work (with a little bit of winnerzila of course) always pay off at the end.
Man, that's great to hear. I would love at least half of that income xD
Can you send a link to one of your stores?
I tried this but can’t get sales :((
Liar. Look his pic and name don't match
Wow I'm about to start a little project of macarons cuz I'm really broken wish me good luck 🤞🍀
So encouraging! My greatest takeaway is that faith works like money. That blessed me. God bless this woman for her diligence and making a path for others!
That was a POWERFUL analogy.
Absolutely!
Amen!
Me too 😅
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This woman is an inspiration. It's these examples of the black community that we need to see more of and should be our role models instead of rappers and "OGs"
I agree but if you keep talking about the black community like that like they are separate then there will always be problems, best way is to just stop talking about someone's race. People are either too protective over the black community or the opposite, we need a balance if we want to end the tension.
Why do u have to say " black " community..?
I agree with the comment. Stop looking at it with race... its an inspiration period. The situation she was in, a lot of white, black, Latino, Asian, etc people are also in. Start looking at it as situational and not racial. Once people do that we can move forward. I'm glad this video didn't make it a racial thing. They brought it to light as situational. This is what we need more of.
People of color" is such a cringe term. Every race has some sort of color to them, unless they look like paper.
@@mariomaro7 can't argue with any of that, it is a culture issue.
The first time I met Ms. Mignon I cried like a baby. Her story opened my eyes to believe in my craft and to not give up. She is an inspiration and I'm blessed to have been in her presence!
She is correct, start where you are. I remember day when I have no money to ride the bus to the Business Assistance Center so I could have access to computers and other resources, so I would walk five miles in rain, cold or heat to get there. I started with what I had, my health and a desire to succeed.
Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.And Ms Francois Knows That you can see she knows and it shows by how successful she is
Thanks for sharing! Those lessons are useful not just in business but in life too. Right? ☺️
Amen. So many do not get this.
@@_Renee2 100% its sad some don't look after their staff and wonder why the staff do not care about there job
She’s so amazing, on all levels: entrepreneur, boss, provider for her purchasers, and a damn good human!❤
Oh my God, I am sitting here at 56, thinking of how to develop my business, with no help, not even from my children. Thank you for your insight. God bless you . X
You can do it!! Even without support or help. All of that will come!
Me too
Same here, 57. Father help us!!
No wonder she was succesfull, she is so kind and Smart... and the neighbor God bless her !!❤
Wow, I'm still stuck at, "All you have is all you need to get to where you want to be"🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Thanks for reminding us of that quote! Truly inspiring, isn't it?
As a Nashville resident, I can truly say she has a beautiful personality. This is a joy to watch. So proud of her
Glad you think so, thanks for watching! 💗
@@UpFlip Absolutely. Your channel is awesome. You are a great host
Yes I really loved her personality and knowledge!!!
We were in Nashville and heard about them. Went by and found a line outside before they opened. The folks in line were excited and were making suggestions for us to try. When we finally got in the folks were nice and the prices were fair. We bought more than we had planned and traveled back home to Memphis.
Everything we bought was wonderful. I would recommend them anytime to anybody. Yes!
I remember being a student in Nashville when I tried The Cupcake Collection…nothing short of life changing 😋😍 and her story is such an inspiration 🙏🏾🙌🏾
What's your favorite flavor? She truly is, glad you were inspired by this video ☺️
By far, the best one yet! $5.00 into unlimited success!
Glad you like it! Is this your favorite episode from our channel? ☺️
I’m so in love with this lady I can’t see straight!! She said so many important things in this interview, that you can really be blessed by, especially the faith part! Let me tell you something… When I really began donating, my time AND money, endless blessings came my way that you would never even be able to believe! This lady is a GEM and I cannot thank you enough for this very powerful and precious interview!! Anyone who views it really paying attention… will learn and be blessed on endless levels!! ❤️🙌💐👏🏻
So true, donating and spending time with & for FAMILY will bring more blessings in unexpected ways!
I 100% agree! 🙌🏾 She said so many important things, that we can be blessed by.
So humble she is yet so inspirational. Love her courage and bravery and trusting in God❤
When she said ‘All you have is all you need to get you from where you are to where you want to be’. I nearly broke down in tears
It's such a powerful statement! It really hits home and resonates deeply, doesn't it?
She is probably one of the most switched on entrepreneurs I have watched on this channel to be able to make a business scalable.
She definitely is! Thanks for the support
Love this!
The listening to your customers to grow is so true!
My husband started our equipment rental business with $10 in the bank. When he followed God’s calling to quit his job and start we didn’t know how. Within a week we were gifted money and had a few small equipment loans, loans and credit cards had been completely rejecting us until that week.
So, he started with a few items we already owned and a loan for a small piece. He then would write down every request that came in and when he saw a pattern for the same equipment would pray for a sign on if he should buy it, cash if he had it or a loan if large like for the boom lift. If God gave the sign he went for it and almost every piece has already paid for itself plus in less than 2 years.
So, remember you are helping your community and to put their needs first for a business to flourish.
This is beautiful, thanks for sharing your story! How's your business now?
It’s going great. August is slow due to the heat here in Texas but we have been really blessed. Construction on our new location just began. A local developer offered to build us a customized location at twice the size and a full 4 acres for only $300 more a month than what we pay in rent now. We also get the option to buy after 10 years.
God and our county have been so good to us. We are almost personal and business credit card debt free, almost all the small equipment is paid off, we are able to buy our own food and tithe regularly (we were using a food bank before the business started), and we will be buying a home, moving out of our RV, this coming year. We also had a baby this past year (actually in the company truck, LOL) so so much has grown and improved.
Oh, the new location is such a blessing outside of the cost. Due to the August heat, we learned that not all of the equipment will fit into our current building. So, what doesn’t fit has to be parked at our home overnight. Everything will easily fit in the new building and once we save the money we will fence in the entire property so large equipment can be stored outside.
God bless your family and business. Your sacrifices and obedience to God paid off. What a testimony!
She really does speak the truth! Im not afraid to fail, im afraid to succeed. Exactly, what's been holding me back all these years. I was scared of hard work! 😔. I know, it sounds sad but to me that was my reality. Im glad I came across this video ❤
And we're glad that you've acknowledged that. Perhaps now you can forge your path to success with no more holding back. 🙏
I recently changed my mindset and I am going for everything that I ever wanted!
a important lesson here is to remember that when u start up people will not only not believe in you but they will even laugh at you and u need to drown that out and stay cinsistent. her resilince is what got her this far
"An employee that feels appreciated will always take care of their employer."
This intrview fed my soul! I wasnt expecting the gems she dropped and I had a few tears along the way. I dont even eat cupcaked but i wanna order some from her and share them with those I love
Glad you enjoyed it!
This segment is so real, refreshing, & motivating. She’s so beautiful in so many ways, & I love how she explained how faith & how you feel about money flow together.
Damn….how cheap were ingredients in TN in 2008 that she could make 60 sellable cupcakes for $5?! 😳
I think she had use cupons for she can paid, because I watched TV show that have people who can turn 1k dollars pf grocery shop into 1 dollar or even make the supermarket paid them
Her take on how to run her business is refreshing! I always believed that to have success you need to appreciate the ones that make it happen.
OMG she is so inspiring. I started baking from home 2 years ago and this gave me hope that i can do it too and own a brick and mortar just like her. Thank you for sharing.
🙌✨️🙌 cheering you on!! 📣💕
Love this family and their cupcakes! So blessed to have them local. The sweet potato cupcakes are to die for!!❤
Lucky you! Those cupcakes are a treat! 😄
So relatable, so insightful, and someone to aspire to be like in business. I love that she shouts out her faith and credits her own mentors (family, Dave Ramsey, etc.) and learning from her customers. Shows she is a servant leader and humble. Love this whole episode!
We appreciate you tuning in! Thank you! ☺️
Management style is on point - she is so humble 🎯🎯🎯
So inspiring Mignon! As a one-woman show running a small home based tarts business, I started flipping the profit slowly until I could afford to get a better mixer, promote branding and ordered off custom tarts boxes. The fundamental basis when one open a food business is make it with sincerity and customers can taste it. To all women and men starting off their own business with little money, go for it, show up and you’ll reap the rewards.
Thanks for sharing! What's the name of your tart business? Wishing you and your business all the success!
I'm soo loving this, i want to do this, but im so scared to do so , but thanks for sharing. I'm from Jamaica.
@@sharmainesmith2987sis just start, put yourself out there, be your authentic self. Your clients are waiting on you. Do it scared but do it anyway. Also from the Caribbean in Saint Lucia 🇱🇨.
Now this is inspiring! Mignon is a pure soul and deserves everything she has worked and sacrificed for!
I am so Proud of her, the way she runs her business, how she treats her employees and how she shares her profits with her employees, takes their ideas to heart and runs with it. This is a true American Success story. I wished I lived closer so I could walk into her Cup Cake Collections Bakery.
This is one of the most inspiring stories I’ve heard on this channel. Shared this with my sister who I think should start her own bakery. It struck a cord when you said “People are afraid of success, not failure”. Soooo true! Blessings to you and I wish you continued success. ❤
Well said! Our main goal is to always inspire more people to strive for success! We're glad you're here and thanks for sharing! 💗
I just forwarded it to my niece. She is a great baker...
Best interview yet for UpFlip! You have found a treasure. Mignon s a gem in this world!
Wow, thank you! Were you inspired by this video?
@@UpFlip 🤣 Ya think? I shared it with my cousin who makes fantastic cupcakes.
Cheers!
The way she manages is the way that management always SHOULD’VE been in this country. But I’m SO glad and SO HAPPY for her that she does this and that she’s so successful with her entire business! Much deserved! You can tell how wonderful and genuine of a human being she is and I love it!!! :))))
That's true! You can tell that she's not just a manager to them but a true leader. Her achievements don't lie! 🙌
I can listen to this a million times. So encouraging! Cake is her love language. Success requires something.
She is such a beautiful soul! I met her and her family years ago at my church. She is a gracious host as my family had been invited to her house for dinner. Congratulations Mignon! I’m so happy for you and not surprised that you’re successful! Continues blessings for you and your family.
Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful!
This is very inspiring.Building from scratch is not easy but it will be worth it later. I appreciate her neighbours, they are one of a kind.
Truly amazing! Glad this inspired you :)

I love Mignon's radiating energy and positive attitude. She is a very likeable person and I think that's what makes her successful. I love listening to her talk she seems very geniune and kind.
We'd listen to her preach for hours! 🙏
Absolutely incredibly inspirational. My small business took a pretty big hit today and this is exactly what I needed to see to kick my butt right back into gear to help provide for my family.
You got this! 💪🏼☺️
🙌✨️🙌 yes!!
That was God at work dear, even in the desert he provided water to hagai and her son,thank you for letting God show his amazing grace through you,am really blessed sis.... keep going.
This is one of the most encouraging video I have EVER seen. Ms. Mignon Francois story is absolutely amazing. I hope to meet her one day. She has truly given me hope. LOVE THIS!♥
Gotta LOVE her..And I love Dave Ramsey too. When she said " on the radio" I thought of him and Bingo. Everyone needs to listen to Dave and get inspired by this amazing lady. God Bless
I used to teach cake decorating a long time ago and remember speaking to people on how to start a small cupcake business from home. I helped them come up with budgets, spreadsheets and even shared my recipes with them. This is great!
Would you help me with spread sheets I don't have knowledge in that area.
Help
Yes. Please help.
I am interested in resources on how you did this!
Hey guys did you get a response.i wanna start my own business but it is overwhelming me😢
She is so inspirational and i can tell her heart is pure. Faith can move mountains.
I needed this I’ve just started a cupcake and cookie business a month ago and it’s the only income I have coming in from my side, I’m from SA Cape Town and this is so inspiring, I appreciate you sharing your story
I commuted to Nashville for years, and always made sure to get at least a dozen cupcakes every visit. The lemon cupcakes reminded me of the old Miss Hulling's split lemon cakes.
This was great. Mignon is actually a management genius in how she has enrolled her employees as partners in her company. I would actually love to hear more about that part of her strategy because she addressed - correctly - one of the biggest issues in business.
I agree it was , she gave out some gems I would use those and go from there and research,
This morning I watched your story and your SECRET ingredient to your business is on point! FAITH....it's just that simple because God in all of His Wisdom. I appreciate you and your testimony.
I'm 68 and ready to expand my life in a business. Thank you, again and you're right, there are no limits with God in doing well for us.
This was an AMAZING interview. Mignon from NOLA to wherever you are, I am so PROUD of you. I want you to know that you are such an inspiration. I pray for continued success in your business. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
3:27 - "because i believe that all you have is all you need to get you from where you are to where you want to be." wow
I think she has a heart of gold! She looks so loving and caring about others, having respect, …!
It is so good to see GOOD people win! 😃🤩🤗👍🏻
Love her and her story, she deserves it
She truly does! Have you tried her cupcakes?
Watching this is inspiring… i have a true passion for baking and making different deserts with the hopes of opening my own bakery. Im a “broke” young mom lol, i started losing faith because no way could i afford the materials and still maintain daily living.. watching this changed it for me.. i dont need top dollar materials to start… i just need the drive and $5 lol.. time to dedicate myself, thank you 🙏🏾
It’s amazing that she went off a small idea and groomed it to a successful business. Salute for not giving up and staying dedicated. 💪🏾💯
Absolutely Love Her! She has taught me to go back into my Faith and Believe what God has given me.
You got this! Keep us posted on your progress 😊💪🏼

You go, Crystal! Keep believing. God has a plan and a purpose for your life that is uniquely yours. Even on the hardest days when you don't know what that is or what that looks like, just remember that there are "good works" that God has ordained for YOU to do "before the foundation of the world". Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, give you wisdom and discernment, and give you the power to accomplish God's will for that day.
I love the saying, "Do small things with great love" because it's often the things we think of as small and insignificant that have the most profound and lasting impact.
May God use you, Crystal, to do powerful and mighty things for HIS glory. 🤗
@@patriciat7769 🙏🏽🙏🏽
All I’ma say is, don’t go to that house in Germantown if you are on a diet because they use REAL butter and REAL sugar 😂 That sweet potato cupcake is my fave, I will eat 5 of those things at once 😂 We used to walk to the same Kroger when we were kids, we lived on Arthur St off Monroe. Mignon is such an inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤
This woman’s “BELIEFS” took her exactly to where she needed to be. I see you working God!!
*Little did they know, everything was working out in my favor!
I love it
I’m more inspired in my baking endeavors!! I just researched people who became millionaires from baking & noting came up. A few days later, this video pops up on my thread! I’m grateful & know that I’m Divinely guided. I appreciate you sharing your story & for the interviewer that found you; allowing more exposure. I love your energy!! May you continually be blessed beyond measure.
This woman is brilliant! I love her approach to business. Listening to her customers and employees, empowering her employees to make important decision (treating her as a client).
She's such a sweet soul that gave herself a chance and blossomed. What a great story❤
Thanks for your kind words!
Very good interview on the interviewers part asking the right questions and the editing was great transitioning to different areas to keep the attention of the view (me lol)
As for Mignon u can tell she really believes in her faith by living out “He works all things out for our good.” Instead of blaming others and her circumstances, she allowed a bad situation to turn into a blessing for her, her family AND her community! Good stuff
Your story is so similar to mine and I love your positivity and mindset. Your videos help push me even more and I love it!! Thank you so much for sharing your story and when I come home to Clarksville, I will definitely be stopping in your shop....I love cake as well as I hope or would love to have the chance to meet you. It brings comfort to me to know my story can be similar to someone else's and it motivates me to keep doing my specialty cookies. ❤
I love Mignon! She’s such a force of all things good! She’s truly a positive change agent. I can’t wait to meet and interview her for my channel.
Absolutely true! Looking forward to watching it! ☺️
Entrepreneurship is amazing! Your own vision! Your own hard work! LETS GO!!!

such a beautiful person, inside and out...SOOOO happy for her sucess she deserves it all...and her kids too! I love it when good people end up getting good things in life
She deserves everything she has. 🙌
So much wisdom here and I love how the lady keeps saying 'I believed...' and acknowledges how faith plays a huge role in our success. I also love how she said 'I promised God that if He made me successful I would tell anyone who would listen...' I am so encouraged by this video, especially starting from the bottom and I hope to share a similar story one day. I am encouraged by how she's doing a lot of what I am praying about and dreaming to do with my business. Thank you for this video. God bless you 🙏🏾
I originally read the 10 million wrong so when you said it in the video I was taken aback and I immediately got teary eyed. How inspiring!!
Love this lady's heart. So good. Glad she is succeeding.
I could listen to her speak all day. She’s so positive and so inspirational
This is the best interview, I've ever seen. It was done in such grace and with enthusiasm, to know and learn more about her business. ❤️💙
With a name like that, she was definitely made for greatness! Such an inspiring story🤗
This is definitely motivation for me I started baking last year as just something to do it was therapy in a sense to me after moving back to the Carolinas after a failed marriage..Like her no experience just teaching myself things as well allowing ppl to taste my product n all ..Not where she is yet but after seeing this I know I'll be there one day this is a great story and has definitely blessed my life❤ thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing! Sending my love to Mignon, thank you for allowing me to hear your speech, meeting you, seeing your business but most of all, feeling your genuine care for strangers❤❤❤
I am so glad I tuned into this interview! The abundance of gems this lady dropped, are true BLESSINGS/Lessons! This was better than a college course! I learned so much from this interview! She is inspirational, and her testimony has just Blessed my business! IT IS CLAIMED!🙏🏾🙌🏾💪🏾 Thank you so much, Mignon! ❤❤❤
First time coming across this channel and I have to say this interview was well worth the price of admission. I enjoyed hearing her story, seeing her passion, and her successes and lessons along her journey. Definitely subscribing. She's an inspiration.
Absolutely loved watching this inspiring interview... thank you. My favourite take away ... faith is like money. You have to make the deposits to make the withdrawals. ❤❤
Finally not a clickbait BS video where they leave out crucial details. Im so proud of her and grateful she shared this
