Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Jesus, Jasmin Smith, and my parents. The entrepreneur part happened by accident and being adopted by my sister Jasmin allowed me to step into the vision my parents both encouraged me to take the leap and get on the journey before they went to heaven.

How do you stay motivated?

My husband, staying active in my faith and having accountability partners. For the past couple of years technology has given me creative ways that allow me to stretch and have the assistance I need to focus on the goals and still be active in my community. And watching other people set and attain their goals. Becoming more involved and taking leadership roles as a community outreach coordinator and administrator has been very helpful. It’s my season of development!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would market and advertise my tv show and events: TUFJesus’ 10-year anniversary, Late Nite Alaska, and Diamond Vendor fairs, featuring them on the tv show. I aim to partner with organizations such as Sober Alaska, Umoja CoWorking, Anchorage Concert Association, and The Di Experience. To lift up their mission. Additionally, I would seek collaboration with a reputable production company to enhance our initiatives.
