Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I am inspired by the people that appear on SHARK TANK, because they think out the box.. most people are going to name drop, but ALL who aspire to create and have the courage to bring their ideas to fruition are my inspiration. I design T-shirts & create artwork so you must ‘BE’ the art: Meaning your essence should be reflected in your work and touch people’s lives. It is amazing how you can take something already perceived and expand it.

How do you stay motivated?

You have to educate yourself to the ‘new’ and never forget the old . We are blessed with all kinds of helpful tools in our society today. But a mentor (human) is a valuable resource to success! I will always remember where I come from and where I am going and will never give up. Every day is a new opportunity to challenge your will power to expand on your endless creativity. Be BOLD with intent and have resilience to follow your dreams…. They know the way.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest some in stock ( that I have researched) to have a reserve fund for future projects. Of course I would use some of it to buy the necessary equipment for my endeavors. Most importantly my company would give back to the community: By developing a mentorship program that helps support the Arts, also my aim would include people who need art therapy and donate to the underprivileged. If you pray and fast before you do something… your path will be shown . The money is a tool.
