Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is the communities that are often overlooked. I grew up seeing how lack of opportunity, financial education, and mentorship can hold people back. That motivates me to build businesses and programs that create opportunity for others. I’m inspired by the idea that one person’s success can open doors for hundreds more.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering where I came from and who I’m building for. Every challenge reminds me that someone else may be watching my journey and gaining the courage to change their life too. My purpose is bigger than profit, it’s about impact, leadership, and showing others that transformation is possible.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it into expanding programs that empower youth and entrepreneurs through education, mentorship, and resources. My mission is to create spaces where people can learn financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and life skills that change their futures. This funding would help grow those opportunities and reach more communities that need them.
