5 Questions With CEO and Founder of Create & Cultivate, Jaclyn Johnson!
Jaclyn is the Founder of Create and Cultivate, an online platform that gives women resources and insight on how they can make their career dreams a reality. It has been an honor to participate in her events as a mentor and I'm always in awe at the zillion other things her company is simultaneously doing- a product line, a collection at Target! It was a no brainer to tap into her wise words...
