Torya Blanchard and Good Girls Go To Paris are featured as an inspirational story on Huffington Post.
In a video accompanying the article, Torya talks about doing something you love and having the courage to fail: "It's this moment of letting go, and this moment of, OK, if you put all of this into your business, if you put all of your money, everything you've got into your business and the business fails, you're OK with that."
from the article:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/1..._n_787230.html
When Torya Blanchard was a child, she was caught shoplifting from a local store on the eve of a family trip to Paris. Given the timing of the transgression, her immediate grounding was all the more painful. Only good girls get to go to Paris, her mother told her. Crushed, Torya quickly cleaned up her act, but never forgot Paris...
In the first installment of The Huffington Post's new video series on individuals who dove into entrepreneurship after losing or leaving their nine to five, we give you the story of Torya Blanchard and her Detroit creperie, Good Girls Go To Paris.

Wha? That's all the play this story got?
Torya is an inspiration to Detroit, and a personal inspiration to me as an entrepreneur. Thanks for taking the risk, Torya, and living the dream!
