Are you the next big name in business and want in on the action?
Register for FreeMy inspiration comes from my journey as a twice young widow and mother of two children with disabilities. Despite challenges, I’ve found strength in honoring their legacy and creating tools for children. As a Forbes Next 1000 honoree and author featured in The Source Magazine and Impact Magazine, I’m driven to inspire children to embrace diversity and build confidence through my work.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by the legacy I’m building for my children and the lives my work touches. After losing my second husband, I turned to positive affirmations to heal, which inspired my first book. Seeing how these tools transform children’s lives and knowing that my story inspires others to persevere keeps me moving forward every day.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to expand Imagine Me Creative Book Publishing by developing new children’s books, coping kits, and resources for diverse young readers. The funds would also support virtual workshops and programs to bring affirmations and coping skills to children and families nationwide, ensuring no child feels unseen or unsupported.
