In this week's ALL ACCESS "WOMEN TO WATCH" column, MC MEDIA Principal CHARESE FRUGE goes deep with with DEF JAM RECORDINGS Exec. VP/Promotion NICKI FARAG. FARAG began her industry career as an intern at Z100/NEW YORK, and made it happen from there.

Discussing her ascent through the ranks and crashing a glass ceiling, FARAG says, “By far my biggest challenge was not being a part of the 'boys club.'” “I struggled because I was incredible at my job but didn’t reap the benefits like my other male counterparts. And I’ll tell you what—I’m SO HAPPY I didn’t. I took that frustration and just did my job, and like I said, I was really good at it. I kept my head up and worked my ass off. I felt unstoppable. That’s when the doors started opening for me. I never swayed away from who I was just to fit in. In fact, I doubled down on me and now I’m on top!”  

Every week in ALL ACCESS, CHARESE FRUGE spotlights the career path of one of our businesses most successful women.  Read her latest with NICKI FARAG here.
