Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business inspiration is my son, Hanif, whose untimely passing at 21 taught me the importance of living with purpose and impact. Hanif’s vibrant spirit and unwavering belief in uplifting others inspire me to help communities thrive. His legacy drives my work to create opportunities, empower leaders, and build stronger communities, ensuring his light continues to shine through the positive change I strive to bring to the world.

How do you stay motivated?

Throughout my education and nonprofit leadership career, I’ve witnessed systemic barriers in the communities I served. These inequities fuel my passion for strategic design and organizational transformation. I’m committed to creating data-informed solutions that drive sustainable impact. Helping organizations optimize operations and align their vision with actionable goals keeps me energized and dedicated to making a lasting difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I will integrate AI into Inspire Impact Consulting Group to enhance efficiency and personalize services. Funds will support AI-driven data analytics for strategic planning, personalized learning for professional development, and automated performance tracking for leadership coaching. Additionally, I will invest in AI-powered marketing to expand our reach and attract clients, driving sustainable impact and positioning the company as a leader in data-informed consulting.
