Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My family are all entrepreneurs so they inspire me to be one myself. I started this brand with a dream and $400 my mother gave me. I know I still have a long way to go and there’s millions of brands out there but I know with time and faith in God I can be in that top 1%.

How do you stay motivated?

My mother motivates me to keep going and never give up no matter how hard it may get. No business is 100% successful when starting as it takes time and may take multiple years to see great growth. I’ve learned to stay patient and wait until it’s my time while staying determined and working hard.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would use some of it for inventory and marketing purposes, while saving the rest if needed in the future. I’ve never been able to fully promote a clothing release because of my funds being limited. My marketing budget (previously $100 per release) and audience reached would significantly increase as I’d be able to reach more people. I’d also use some of the funds tobuild business/personal credit to eventually be able to purchase a store.
