Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My deepest inspiration comes from my personal journey through a life-altering health crisis, which taught me that no matter the darkness, we all have the potential to heal and rise. My business is built on the belief that everyone deserves to create a life they love. I've worked with diverse populations—from individuals with disabilities to corporate executives—and have learned that we all deserve the chance to heal, grow, and thrive, no matter our background.

How do you stay motivated?

My phone dings with messages like, “Thank you. You helped me create my dream life.” These words remind me of my mission: to empower, transform, and heal through my art—whether it’s speaking, programs, community, books, music, or content creation. The ripple of transformation is what drives me. I’m motivated by the opportunity to contribute to causes, helping others, and spreading light.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’m creating a global anthem for unity and empowerment, raising awareness of childhood sexual and physical abuse. This project unites world-class artists and nonprofits to amplify the voices of survivors and inspire them to speak out. Winning $25,000 will fund professional production of this song that will provide hope and empowerment to survivors, showing they’re not alone.
