Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from a desire to connect people and foster unity in the LGBT community. Drawing from my own experience as a gay, half-black kid, I strive to create spaces that celebrate authenticity and understanding. We're living in a time that calls for more acceptance, and I’m all in on making that happen!

How do you stay motivated?

Sure, some days are tougher than others, but my drive comes from thinking about those who feel overlooked. When I focus on creating opportunities for individuals who need a sense of belonging or those seeking connection, it fuels my passion. I thrive on crafting experiences that light up lives and build connections that matter!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Oh, with $25,000, I’d turn up the volume on GOin’! I’d invest in GOin’ to enhance our platform and reach more people. I’d also donate to vital organizations like the Trevor Project and GLAAD, while funding a memorable trip for someone in need of connection and acceptance. It’s all about giving back and making a real impact!
