Demetria Lucas is an award-winning author and the owner of BelleinBrooklyn, a popular blog that offers business and personal advice to women around the world. Many people already know the 35-year-old for her business savvy mentality and candid advice. Some suggest that she had carved her own lane, prior to joining the cast of Bravo’s “Blood, Sweat and Heels,” .

So, I am actually doing something on a show about working women, and being a reality star doing something is sometimes revolutionary.

Why she’s so opinionated:
