Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My Wife, Family, and especially my mother inspired me with how she would dress on Sunday morning. She would dress up to wear her hats, a matching suit, dresses and her shoes I would say to her “Mama”you can be a model for somebody's boutique”and she would laugh!! But there were some individuals that also had a big inspiration towards me and my business as well.

How do you stay motivated?

I wanted to help my community. I saw a need in the city I grew up in, Compton, CA. My mother was my motivation, she would be dressed for certain events and women would always compliment her on how elegant and classy she looked.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000, I would divide it strategically. First, I’d invest a portion into my business or invest in opening up another business opportunity so the money can multiply instead of just being spent. Second, I’d set some aside for savings or emergencies to create financial stability. And finally, My goal wouldn’t just be to spend the money,but to turn $25,000 into something that creates long-term opportunity and impact.”
