Summary
In just the second year of university, Devon Brooks became one of the youngest female successful entrepreneurs when she founded BLO in Vancouver, Canada. But, that’s not her whole story. You see, Devon is also a two-time attack survivor, thriving now in the life after. In this in-depth conversation, we creep into the world and mind of Devon Brooks, entrepreneur, speaker, wife, mother. Discussing what it means to be a trauma survivor, the choices we make and the reason she’s yet again becoming an entrepreneur for something entirely different, and entirely needed in today’s society. You can follow Devon and her latest ventures at @devsdevelopment.
