Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from seeing creativity in my community that never had the resources to become real businesses. I started BrimadeIt to prove that talent and ideas deserve access to real production, real opportunity, and real ownership. When people can turn creativity into a product and a paycheck, it changes more than income it changes confidence, identity, and generational possibilities.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering that building something real takes persistence. BrimadeIt started with an idea and a willingness to learn skills most people never get access to. Every order fulfilled, every product created, and every person who realizes they can turn creativity into ownership reminds me why I started. The work isn’t just about growth it’s about proving that opportunity can be built, not just waited for.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into expanding BrimadeIt’s apparel manufacturing capacity upgrading equipment, materials, and production systems to fulfill larger orders and support emerging brands. The goal is to turn BrimadeIt into a scalable manufacturing hub where creativity becomes real products and real businesses. By strengthening production, we create jobs, opportunities, and a pathway for the next generation of entrepreneurs to build their own brands.
