Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business stems from my personal experiences and a desire to help others achieve financial freedom and break generational cycles. I come from a family of talented business owners, including my father, who lacked financial literacy, leaving our family in poverty. Witnessing repeated cycles of failure and missed opportunities fueled my passion to create lasting change, break this cycle, and empower others to build sustainable legacies and financial independence.

How do you stay motivated?

I'm motivated by my faith and my passion for helping others succeed. My belief in living a purposeful life drives me to use my talents to create change. I am also motivated by the legacy I desire to leave for my children, my grand daughter, and the communities I serve. Seeing the impact of my work, whether through teaching financial literacy, coaching others, or mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, reminds me why I started and keeps me going even when challenges arise.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would allocate $25,000 by giving back, rewarding myself, scaling my business, and planning for the future. $3,000 for grants supporting parents returning to school, $5,000 for marketing to expand my reach, $7,000 for workshops teaching financial literacy, $3,000 for tools to streamline operations, $1,500 for self-care to stay motivated, and $5,500 for community programs like single mom makeovers, micro-grants, and empowering grassroots initiatives.
