Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspirations in business are Daymond John and Myron Golden. Daymond John inspires me because he built the global brand FUBU from humble beginnings through persistence, creativity, and belief in his vision. Myron Golden inspires me through his teachings on mindset, value creation, and building wealth by solving problems for others. Their influence motivates me to pursue entrepreneurship with discipline, purpose, and a focus on creating opportunities that positively impact others.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by reflecting on the challenges I experienced growing up and how they shaped my determination to build a better future. Those experiences taught me resilience, discipline, and the importance of believing in myself. Remembering where I started and the goals I have for my life and family keeps me focused and driven to continue improving and creating opportunities for others.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were awarded the $25,000, I would invest it into growing my businesses and expanding the tools and resources needed to reach more people. I would also use part of the funds to continue my education and professional development so I can better serve my community. My goal would be to turn that investment into long-term opportunities that positively impact others as well as my own growth.
