Tweetable Quotes:

“If you're a producer, if your agency owner, it's okay to take a hat off, it's okay to rest. It's okay to take a day off if you need it. It will be there when you get back.” - Kaleigha Cramer

“The biggest thing for me is always know when to speak, and always be a learner. Because you need to use your voice when your voice needs to be heard. And you need to learn from everybody, learn anything, even if it's as little as like you're talking about something that you read in a book like you learning everything will help you in anything. ” - Kaleigha Cramer
