‘Blood, Sweat and Heels’ Star Demetria Lucas Says Being a “Working Woman” in Reality TV is “Revolutionary” [VIDEO]
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.
