Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My family inspires my youthful, creative, and honest approach to business. I push myself to achieve greatness. Growing up in Chicago instilled a drive to avoid mediocrity; the city's high expectations are in my DNA. Finally, I'm driven by a love for society, aiming to make cool fashion accessible to all, because true luxury lies in affordability.

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation stems from a deep sense of purpose. Believing I was given talents and a mission by God, I strive to avoid laziness, seeing it as disrespectful to both Him and my family. Each day is a chance to fulfill that divine purpose, aiming for greatness and to positively impact the world. This fuels my drive to constantly improve and make a difference, knowing that time is precious and legacies matter.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I'd strategically focus on growth, not just immediate profits. I'd seek a mentorship with Daymond John, leveraging his expertise to brainstorm innovative marketing strategies. This would include exploring social impact campaigns. We could then begin partnerships with local schools, shelters, and organizations, donating my products to those in need while building brand awareness and a loyal following that supports not just my business, but also my philanthropic aspirations.
