Donatella Arpaia shares her inspiring journey from growing up in the restaurant business to defying her parents’ expectations and building a successful career.
Born to immigrant parents, Arpaia was initially discouraged from entering the industry but followed her passion despite facing challenges as a young, beautiful former attorney in a male-dominated field.
