What is the Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy inspiration in business has steamed from always having to figure it out in life. I was a first generation college student and I wanted to find a need that needed to be met to assist others in my community. I wanted to be the change for my family and a role model to others.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by being active in my daughter's life by making sure she has her needs met. I stay motivated by being involved in my community and being involved in in the chamber of commerce. Staying motivated to me means being able to be active and be a representative in all that I do. Showing up is a way I stay motivated by being able to inspire others.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I had the opportunity to benefit from $25,000 it would go back into my business to be able to scale. I would share with my daughter and get her some things shes been wanting. I would be able to pay down school debt from me furthering my education. I would also be able to support my non profit more to be able to make an impact in the community.
