Who or what is your inspiration in business?

First and foremost, I would like to give all praise to God for allowing me to get this far because without him I would not be where I am today. There are so many people that mentored and inspired me along the way, and continue to do so, but especially the strong women I grew up surrounded by. My grandmothers, my mom & dad and aunties were all centered in my life. They taught me resilience and that’s necessary in business. Shoutout to my wonderful business partner Francis Castillo.

How do you stay motivated?

To stay motivated, I set achievable goals, break down large tasks into smaller steps, celebrate small victories, regularly review my progress, find inspiration in others, surround yourself with positive people, practice self-care, and focus on the intrinsic rewards of my actions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000 to invest in my business, I could use it to enhance my marketing efforts, upgrade technology, expand my inventory, hire additional staff, invest in new equipment, or develop new products or services depending on our business needs and current growth stage; prioritize areas that will directly generate more sales or improve operational efficiency.
