What is the Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreI’m inspired by the strength and resilience of women of color and our journey toward self-love. Too often, we’re expected to be strong for everyone else, but I believe in creating spaces where we can prioritize ourselves. My goal is to provide resources that uplift, heal, and empower—helping women embrace rest, set boundaries, and cultivate joy without guilt.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated knowing that when I needed support, resources were scarce—especially those that truly reflected my experiences. Even today, culturally relevant spaces for healing and self-love remain limited. That’s why I’m committed to creating meaningful resources that empower women of color to prioritize their well-being, set boundaries, and embrace self-love without guilt. Seeing that impact keeps me going.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in launching my self-love and healing workbook for women of color, covering production, packaging, and marketing. I’d also develop additional resources to expand my impact, ensuring women have access to culturally relevant tools for self-care and growth. This funding would help me scale my business, reach more people, and create a sustainable platform for empowerment and healing.
