Topics
Latoya: 我创立Marble Wines是因为之前帮助别人创立葡萄酒品牌的经历让我意识到，我需要自己掌握主动权。我积累了知识和人脉，但最终没有得到应有的回报，这促使我决定自己打造一个品牌。我想利用我所掌握的知识，以我想要的方式来做葡萄酒品牌，创造真正属于自己的东西。当我邀请Brianna加入时，她立刻同意了，这让我更加坚定了我的选择。 Brianna: 我和Latoya之前就合作过，我们非常合拍。我们一起工作时，总能轻松愉快地交流，即使偏离了工作主题，也感觉很舒服。所以当Latoya邀请我一起做葡萄酒品牌时，我毫不犹豫地答应了。我觉得这是一个很好的机会，可以和Latoya一起创造一些特别的东西。我们都认为女性在葡萄酒行业中没有得到充分的代表，所以我们希望通过Marble Wines来改变这种状况。
