Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is unlocking that extraordinary, innovative, God-given inner light. I have always had an unrelenting passion for being a visionary entrepreneur and have aspired to empower others to 'celebrate their individuality.' I have always stood tall, or as others would say, 'radiated confidence.' Always feeling like I was a trailblazer, a pioneer, has sculpted my character. It took time to get there; eventually, I learned to love 'her' and have soared to new heights.

How do you stay motivated?

Knowing that I inspire people with my drive, perseverance, and positive attitude, I provide not only fashion but also confidence and motivation, empowering others to believe in themselves. Giving up is never an option, as I firmly believe that success can happen if you trust in the process. I live by the wise words of Tabitha Brown, who reminds us to keep working while we wait, believing in the waiting season. This motivates me daily, keeping my spirit lifted and focused on achieving my goal.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would allocate a portion to reinvest in strategic areas that directly contribute to the growth and expansion of my brand, including inventory, professional guidance, business needs analysis, marketing tools and strategies, upgraded technology, website and online presence development, identifying distributors to facilitate my vision of 'Fashion with Confidence,' and ensuring all legalities are in place.
