What is the Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy greatest inspiration in business is my family. As a former teen mother and an injustice survivor, I was once overlooked and silenced for decades. Despite those challenges, I was blessed with a second chance—a new opportunity to raise another child alongside my supportive husband and to create a life filled with purpose and positivity. Through healing and resilience, I transformed my experiences into motivation, building businesses that are filled with passion and purpose.
How do you stay motivated?My motivation is deeply rooted in my family and the journey I've overcome. Being a former teen mother and an injustice survivor, I know what it feels like to be underestimated and silenced. Those experiences could have defined me, but instead, they fueled my determination to rewrite my story. Having the opportunity to raise another child with my husband has given me a renewed sense of purpose. I stay motivated by showing my children that resilience, healing, and hard work is purposeful.
What would you do with the $25,000?I will use half of the money for marketing in my business and the other half donated to our non-profit. In our non-profit we help people heal from Injustice, help teen moms and we have a sliding scale home care company.
