Mariah Rodrigues was born on January 12, 1966, in South Brazil, in a small city of Morro da Fumaça. Her family worked day and night to provide bread on the table. Watching her parents struggle created an innate drive in Mariah to work as hard as possible to achieve greatness. At the young, but mature, age of 11 Mariah opened her first business, and at 29 years old she was already a self-made successful business woman. Determination is her driving force in everything that she does. She has mastered motherhood, being a business woman, creating a fashion design brand, and is now a writer. Mariah constantly challenges herself to rise above standards and break norms to succeed at her goals, while carrying a deep-rooted aspiration to reach mountaintops when embarking on a new journey. This book is her latest expedition to inspire and motivate all women to unlock their sensuality and confidence to bravely follow their dreams. Mariah is a creative soul yearning to share her passion for love, business, and life with you. (Mariah happily splits her time between Miami Beach and her home town in Brazil.)
