Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business inspiration stems from a desire to showcase exceptional black-owned establishments that epitomize high-class service, impressive hospitality, delectable cuisine, and outstanding overall experience.

How do you stay motivated?

I maintain motivation through meticulous preparation. By Sunday, I have a clear plan in place for the week ahead. When faced with challenging days, I adopt a philosophical perspective, recognizing that life's difficulties can be frustrating, yet this understanding encourages me to approach life with greater seriousness. By focusing on personal goals, I find motivation that extends to professional pursuits.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Receiving $25,000 would have a profound impact, opening doors to new opportunities, including business expansion, equipment purchases, and contest participation. It would also support my continued education in hospitality and community involvement. This investment would empower me to capitalize on my potential, generating returns exceeding $25,000. Moreover, I could work with my team to bring creative ideas to fruition, gathering essential blueprints and exploring new avenues without struggles.
