From Belle to Boss: Lateshia Pearson’s Mindset Secrets

How do you ensure that your platform empowers women instead of exploiting them?

Oh, that's a good question. So for me, let me just take this back real quick. Um, so although I pitched L Collective, I didn't pitch myself to be a castmate. Carlos King was able to see something in me that I didn't even see in myself. Him, he allowed God to move through him, and here I am, right? So I was more into— I want to be behind the scenes, like maybe a production assistant or something to help. But he was like, no, no, you got it. And I will always be appreciative of him. And let me just say this before I answer your questions— your question. It is very important that to know that when you move in good intentions and you're, you're serving someone else, again, God gonna move you from the back of the line to the front of the line. That was not set out. I just wanted to highlight other women, but God had another plan for me. So when you ask, how is it that you can stay authentic And how is it that you feel as if you're not being exploited? Well, for me, because it wasn't on my vision board, I was able to show up as my authentic self, which some people gonna love it, some people may not. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I don't want everybody sipping me, so that's okay, you know what I'm saying?
