Meet Vanessa Barnes

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Vanessa Barnes . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Vanessa , looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I undoubtedly inherited my strong work ethic from my family. My grandfather instilled in me the value of resilience and the importance of persisting until I achieve a positive outcome. Meanwhile, my mother continuously pushed me to never settle for mere accomplishments and to constantly strive for more, even after receiving recognition for my achievements.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I received an award from Acquisition International.

Most Influential Eyewear Fashion Businesswoman 2023 (USA): Vanessa Barnes.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Embrace the dynamic nature of your field and be adaptable to evolving environments. Make a commitment to lifelong learning and actively seek out knowledge and skills that can enhance your career. It’s important to recognize that each individual’s journey is unique, so avoid comparing yourself to others as it can steal away your joy and contentment.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am open to collaborating with brands that prioritize ethics, embrace technology, and have a strong emphasis on luxury.
