Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by resilience—my own journey balancing school, internship, and life challenges. I’m also inspired by entrepreneurs who built success from nothing and created opportunities for others. Seeing how business can change lives motivates me to build something that provides stability, impact, and generational growth for my family and community.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my long-term goals and the life I’m building for myself and my children. Every challenge reminds me why I started. I stay disciplined, keep learning, and take consistent action even on hard days. Progress, and perfection, keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into building and scaling my business by covering startup costs, marketing, and legal structure. I would also use a portion to secure stable housing and create a strong financial foundation. This funding would help me grow sustainably, increase income, and create long-term opportunities for myself and my family.
