Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business stems from a passion for creating meaningful change in underserved communities. Drawing from my experiences in cosmetology, corrections, and financial education, I’m driven to empower, low income families, youth, and individuals seeking better lives. Through Eden 360, I aim to break cycles of struggle by providing resources, financial literacy, wellness programs, and support, fostering generational wealth, health, and stability for lasting community impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on the impact Eden 360 will have on the community and the lives that we’re changing through our programs. Seeing families gain financial knowledge, youth embrace new opportunities, and individuals improve their health and wellness keeps me driven. Setting clear goals, celebrating small wins, and keeping the vision of a thriving community in mind sustains my motivation daily.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, Eden 360 would develop programs like health workshops, financial literacy, and STEM education, while providing skate lessons for physical and mental health. Funds would support marketing, secure or improve a community space, and cover operational cost like staffing and program tools. Additionally, Eden 360 could offer free or subsidize services to low income, families and youth, building a strong foundation for impactful, sustainable community growth.
