What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy inspiration in business comes from my lived experiences and the communities I serve. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago and navigating spaces where my voice and vision were often overlooked, I was driven to create something different. I am inspired by the power of storytelling, the resilience of Black communities, and the responsibility to build a platform that uplifts others, creates opportunity, and preserves legacy.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by my purpose and the impact of my work. Building Secrets & Legacy Media is bigger than me, it is about amplifying voices, creating opportunity, and preserving stories that deserve to be seen and remembered. Even in challenging moments, I am driven by the vision I have for this company and the responsibility I carry to build something meaningful, lasting, and impactful for my community.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would invest the $25,000 into scaling Secrets & Legacy Media by strengthening operations, expanding our team, and upgrading production equipment. This includes laptops, cameras, and audio tools to enhance content quality, as well as marketing to grow our audience. Funding would also support travel for on-site coverage and partnerships, while helping us build sustainable revenue streams through media, events, and public relations services.
