Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

--Samuel Johnson

We’re convinced that whatever your dream is… your own strength won’t determine your success—but your perseverance will! 

Two people who’ve persevered to follow their dreams are Venice and her 12-year-old daughter, Tatiana.  In 2002, they started the clothing company Queenie4ever --to inspire girls to be creative, follow their dreams and have positive self-esteem!

And they’ve done it well!

Since a very young age, Venice has had a passion for fashion.  She started designing clothes for her dolls—and her talent continued to flourish.  And sure enough… her daughter, Tatiana, followed in her footsteps!

With Tatiana’s young spirit and Venice’s connections in the entertainment industry—they were often spotted for their great sense of style and before they knew it, they became the celebrity source for styling tips!

Finally in 2002, after hearing so much great feedback, Venice and daughter Tatiana decided to take a risk—and pursue a dream.  And that’s when Queenie4ever was born!

The company is continuing to thrive and grow—and even in the midst of success, they know the importance of giving back!  Queenie4ever supports charities including the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance and the Dorough Lupus Foundation.

So check out their website, queenie4ever.com, and then ask yourself…

The last time I failed, did I stop trying because I failed—or did I fail because I stopped trying?

Be persistent, NAME!  Follow your dreams—and never give up!

You can do it.
