Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is my son and my family. Being a single mother has pushed me to think bigger, move smarter, and build something that creates stability and generational wealth. I’m also inspired by entrepreneurs who turned small ideas into scalable brands. Seeing what’s possible motivates me to keep going and create opportunities not just for myself, but for my community.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by setting clear goals and reminding myself why I started. I track my progress, celebrate small wins, and stay consistent even when it’s hard. My businesses and my son depend on me, so giving up is not an option. I also stay motivated by surrounding myself with growth-minded people and continuously learning how to improve and scale.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would reinvest the $25,000 into scaling my businesses by upgrading equipment, increasing inventory, and expanding marketing efforts. I would also invest in branding, automation, and additional staff to handle growth. This would allow me to serve more customers, secure larger contracts, and create more opportunities within my community while building long-term sustainability.
