Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration for this business was overcoming my personal struggles with homelessness and financial hardship. As a result of a mentorship program and my success in the finance industry, I transformed my life and began a nonprofit to serve and mentor young adults. I am going to make opportunity accessible to millions of people who are struggling financially and inspire generational wealth.

How do you stay motivated?

I am motivated by expanding economic opportunity for young entrepreneurs in underserved communities. I have a responsibility to my family and community. By providing guidance, resources, and financial literacy, I aim to help individuals build confidence, create multiple income streams, and generate long-term economic mobility. Whenever I see a life transformed by my program, it motivates me to reach more people in need.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25,000, I would expand financial literacy and entrepreneurship programs through workshops, community events, and collaborative marketing. Funds would support scalable digital resources, partnerships with schools, local governments, and businesses, and expanded social media outreach to reach more participants, recruit mentors, and increase program visibility and long-term community impact.
