Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration is my journey as a mother and woman rebuilding myself while creating something meaningful. I’m inspired by strong women who turn challenges into purpose and create opportunities not just for themselves, but for others. I want to show my children that with resilience, faith, and hard work, you can build something from nothing and make a real impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started—creating a better future for my children and building something I’m proud of. Even on hard days, I stay consistent and focus on progress over perfection. Seeing my clients feel more confident and knowing I’m building a legacy keeps me going. Discipline, vision, and purpose drive me more than motivation alone.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to grow and scale my beauty brand and Haitian food business. Funds would go toward building a professional website with online booking, purchasing quality equipment and supplies, and investing in marketing to reach a larger audience. I would also develop my own hair care products line and expand my food brand, creating a sustainable business that empowers and creates opportunities for others.
