Cole: What advice do you wish someone had given you earlier in your career?
Cole: Who are your role models, and what life- changing lessons did you pick up from them?
Coleman: Early in my career, I wish someone would have told me to take the work seriously, however to not take myself too seriously. Don’t be afraid to make bold decisions, and recognize you are still a human who will make mistakes and will grow from them. You need to be honest, humble, and do the right thing at all times for yourself and others.
Coleman: Jesus, my mother, and the Honorable Wellington Webb are my top 3 role models. God taught me what it means to be selfless and courageous simultaneously. My mom taught me and showed me the value of unconditional love. She was the embodiment of who Jesus is to me. Wellington Webb showed me the importance of being in community and being present, accessible.
