Day 2 Night

Michele Roy and her husband left their full-time jobs to open Day 2 Night Fashion Apparel, 319 Cattell Street, in August. She says her faith has helped lead her to wonderful discoveries about herself and has helped her in business and personal decisions. Here she talks about her unceasing desire to succeed and loving what she does.

"I was a teenage mother. At eighteen, I was selected as a debutante; I was seeded number two in track, accepted to college, and then I got a positive pregnancy result and I decided to keep the baby. I was told I ruined my life, I made the wrong decision. In my lifespan, I've done well. I had a P.R. company, I worked with Patti LaBelle, Eric Benet, Halle Berry. I've done wonderful things in my life, and now, in addition, I have my own business. I worked at Chubb Insurance Company, and I had sixteen staff members. I mean, I've done well in my life and it's all about hard work. You can't let someone else decide who you are."
