Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from people who build something meaningful out of adversity. Living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy has pushed me to think creatively, stay resilient, and create platforms that make an impact. I’m inspired by entrepreneurship that turns personal experience into purpose, builds community, and creates opportunities to uplift others through storytelling, advocacy, and media.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by applying a “Mamba Mentality” to entrepreneurship—showing up every day with discipline, focus, and the drive to improve. Living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy reminds me that time is precious, so I focus on building platforms that create real impact. My motivation comes from turning challenges into purpose and using storytelling, media, and advocacy to uplift others and build something bigger than myself.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to make my home fully wheelchair accessible, allowing me to live more independently and continue creating content and advocacy work. Accessibility at home would strengthen my ability to build my platforms and share my story. Any remaining funds would be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help support others living with muscular dystrophy.
