Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My son passed away at 8 years old then my mom the same year and to avoid grieving I found something to keep my mind off of it. I started opening businesses. knowing I’m making them proud keeps me going. also my 5 living children. PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME HOW I INSPIRE THEM HOW I GIVE THEM FAITH TO KEEP GOING THROUGH THIER STRUGGLES KNOWING A SINGLE MOTHER WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH SOMEONE LIKE THEM COMING FROM THE SAME PLACE MADE THINGS HAPPEN FOR HER AND HER KIDS HELPS THEM BELIEVE THEY CAN

How do you stay motivated?

KNOWING I HAVE NO ONE TO HAVE MY BACK IF IM EVER IN NEED I CANT GIVE UP. OF I GIVE UP ON MY SELF I GIVE UP ON MY BABIES, I GIVE UP ON MY MOM , IT WILL MEAN I GIVE UP ON ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN ME WHO I GIVE HOPE TO. I AM NOW THE FAMILY BACKBONE MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS AND MY SUPPORTERS MOTIVATED ME BECAUSE IM MAKING THEM PROUD.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I WOULD GIVE BACK TO MY COMMUNITY AND HELP OTHERS BUILD BUSINESSES TO TAKE CARE OF THEY FAMILY AS I AM ALREADY DOING I WILL HELP SOME SINGLE MOTHERS WHO ARE HOMELESS GET A HOME AND I WILL GIVE SOME FATHERS JOBS TO PROVIDE FOR THIER FAMILIES
