My inspiration in business comes from my passion for empowering others through diversity validation, self-care, and personal development. With a multifaceted background in psychotherapy, life coaching, poetry, and leadership, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and communities unlock their potential. I’m inspired by the transformative power of resilience, optimism, and self-discovery, which I strive to weave into everything I do—from my coaching programs like BET on SELF.

I stay motivated by staying connected to my purpose and the impact I strive to create in the lives of others. Knowing that the work I do—whether it’s through coaching, therapy, or hosting events like Poetherapy—helps people tap into their resilience, embrace self-care, and unlock their potential keeps me going. I draw motivation from seeing growth in those I work with, whether it’s clients, students, or communities.

If I were granted $25,000, I’d invest in expanding my signature programs like BET on SELF and The F.E.M.E. Project by creating additional resources and workshops. I’d enhance marketing efforts, grow my platform, and make initiatives like Poetherapy more accessible. Funds would also support hosting empowering events, upgrading technology, and hiring support staff to streamline operations. Finally, I’d focus on professional development and building a scalable business platform.
