In this episode of "And in Heels," we had the pleasure of speaking with Erica DiAngelo Allen, a self-proclaimed legal nerd, creative entrepreneur, fashionista, and foodie. She shared her journey as an entrepreneur and the importance of being true to oneself.
Listening to Erica share her personal journey, you’ll learn:
Erica's entrepreneurial journey began at a young age, fueled by her innate drive and creativity. Her childhood ventures, such as selling food and drinks to golfers outside her grandfather's house and starting a business bedazzling clothes and accessories, laid the foundation for her entrepreneurial spirit and set her on a path of self-discovery.
Her journey as an entrepreneur and attorney was not without its challenges. As a teenager, she faced copyright infringement papers, sparking her interest in the legal field. This curiosity led her to pursue a law degree. However, after graduating and entering a toxic work environment, Erica's mental health suffered, prompting her to bravely leave her initial job within a year and swiftly launch her own venture, DiAngelo Law.

Instead, it is about being open to new opportunities, surrounding oneself with the right people, and protecting one's intellectual property.
