Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I started my business because I wanted to provide unique and memorable experiences for children and their parents. As a full-time entrepreneur and a mother of three minis, my children are my passion and motivation. I saw the opportunity to create inclusive and enjoyable events that would leave a lasting impression on my clients and their loved ones. Every child deserves a special celebration, and I wanted to be the one to bring that to life. Seeing the joy on their faces is my inspiration.

How do you stay motivated?

As a single mom of three who is also a full time entrepreneur, my children are my biggest motivation. I want to be able to provide them with the very best life possible and I am determined to make that happen. I've learned to multitask and prioritize my goals. By doing so, I've enabled my business to grow and flourish while still maintaining a healthy and active presence in my kid's lives. Owning a small business requires hours of dedication and my success is a reflection of my hard work.

What would you do with the $25,000?

We have operated as a mobile business for over ten years, and we are excited to open our first brick-and-mortar venue this year. This new location will provide an opportunity for significant growth; however, it requires us to increase our inventory. If awarded the grant, I’ll allocate the funds to purchase inventory and supplies, including inflatables, decor, safety gates and art supplies. Additionally, the grant will help cover the overhead costs associated w/running a commercial space.
