Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Martin Luther King, Shirley Chisholm, and Philip A Randolph, as well as my own experience in Corporate America.

How do you stay motivated?

Motivation comes from progress when candidates are placed, when employer partnerships are created, when community organizations are connected, when revenue grows, and when people are trained and supported. Even 1 successful placement is proof that the mission is working.

What would you do with the $25,000?

DC Workforce solutions was created to change the systemic way of thinking in Corporate America and to create Fair opportunities in the workplace. The $25,000 can help move the movement around equitable workforce access. We can have multiple employer relationships, workforce training pipelines, community job centers, regional influence in hiring practices. I didn't start DC Workforce solutions because it was easy. I started it because the system needs leaders willing to change it.
