Quotes:

“I just ended up in business and didn't really embrace it for quite some time because I was just in a place where I was like not wanting to work for a traditional job, but also not seeing another option.” - Riah

“If you see something in somebody, say something because you have no idea what they're going through.” - Riah

“You cannot afford not to because you are costing yourself time where you could be in front of people who want your services and need your services and you're actually robbing them of your genius, robbing them of the help that you could be delivering to them.” - Riah
