After her mother passed, Shontel swore to never sell again - and she kept that promise. She went to school and got her degree in Chemistry and Nursing and eventually founded Nursez R Us, a company ranked by Black Enterprise as one of the “The Nation’s Largest Black Business.” Shontel and Dr. Knowles talk about growing up under difficult circumstances and the complex road to success.   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
