Mapule aka Maps is one of my very good friends and I knew that I would be the most natural interviewing her. I have always admired her "get things done" attitude, which has seen her accomplish much more than her peers. I also love how she always pushes herself to achieve the things she has always wanted to. Never letting the business of life get in her way, we are going to hear more about this incredible person in years to come, mark my words.
