Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from the women I serve. Each client has a unique story—whether she’s rebuilding after a loss, stepping into a new chapter of life, or reclaiming her confidence after years of neglecting herself. Seeing their transformations fuels me. I know what it’s like to feel unseen or stuck, and I want every woman I work with to feel empowered, confident, and ready to take on the world. Their courage to invest in themselves inspires me to keep showing up.

How do you stay motivated?

Seeing the transformation in my clients is my greatest motivation. When a woman looks in the mirror and sees herself in a way she never imagined—confident, stylish, and powerful—it’s an indescribable feeling. I’m also driven by my mission to challenge beauty standards and help women embrace their individuality. On a personal level, I’m motivated by the opportunity to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and stylists, showing them what’s possible.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning would allow me to expand FABstyles’ reach and increase my customer base by 40%. With these funds, I would invest in a virtual styling platform that costs $10,000, enabling me to serve clients nationwide. This software would streamline consultations, enhance the client experience, and increase revenue by $20,000 annually, a 100% ROI. Funds would also support professional development, mentorship for aspiring stylists, and marketing to amplify FABstyles’ mission of empowerment.
