Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my mother, who raised me in a single-parent household while juggling multiple jobs to provide for us. Her resilience and determination shaped my belief that economic empowerment can transform lives. Professionally, I’m inspired by the stories of countless women solopreneurs who turn their passion into businesses, often without the resources they need to succeed. These women fuel my mission to build solutions that make financial independence achievable for all.

How do you stay motivated?

I am motivated by our impact. In the past, we have helped pay $750k+ in debt and guided $200k+ investments, and that's just the beginning. Whether it’s helping a solopreneur finally separate their personal and business finances or hearing how our tools have helped someone reduce debt or grow their wealth, the stories of women overcoming challenges with our support remind me why I started this journey. I also find motivation in my team and community, passionate for empowering entrepreneurs.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 would go directly toward scaling Investrio’s impact. We’d invest in community-building activities to engage and support women solopreneurs, accelerate app development to refine features like expense tracking and grant discovery, and amplify our marketing efforts to reach more underserved entrepreneurs. This funding would help us empower more women to unlock financial opportunities and grow their businesses.
