Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up with a single mother and little brother, I witnessed my mom’s resilience as she worked hard to provide for us. Her determination inspired me to pursue my dreams. When I discovered lashing, it filled a gap in my city and boosted my confidence, motivating me to offer that same experience to others. Now, I’m passionate about empowering clients through my work, building a legacy for my family, and showing young girls like me that success is possible.

How do you stay motivated?

My family and clients are my greatest motivation. My family’s support and the trust I’ve built with clients inspire me to keep going. My students also motivate me. Seeing their passion for learning reminds me why I started and drives me to stay innovative. I’m also motivated by setting goals to grow my business, creating opportunities for others, and continuously improving my skills to provide exceptional experiences for everyone I serve.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25,000, I would expand my inventory to offer a wider variety of high-quality products and enhance my workspace for a more luxurious client experience. I’d invest in marketing to reach a broader audience and increase brand awareness. Additionally, I’d grant a free training to someone passionate about lashing but unable to afford it. This funding would help grow my business, improve services, and allow me to continue delivering exceptional quality and education.
