When Dreena Whitfield was a child, she wanted to be a singer. Eventually, that dream changed - with Dreena combining her love of politics, storytelling, and media  - in search of the career and lifestyle that would fit her talent and interests best.  Dreena shares how she made her dream of running her own PR agency, WhitPR, come true - and what 10 years of challenges, successes, and lessons learned looks like. She also dives into how she manages it all as a mompreneur and what tips she has for other dream drivers who are giving their all for the dream they won't give up on.
