Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m in this for the underdogs. Her Game was built for every girl who’s ever been overlooked or told there wasn't a seat for her. I’m here to make sure she doesn't just find the door—she walks right through it.

How do you stay motivated?

For me, motivation requires maintenance. I make time for myself first because I’ve tried the alternative and it doesn't work. When I’m rejuvenated, my creativity flows naturally and that’s when I’m most effective at opening doors for others.

What would you do with the $25,000?

We’re going to use the $25,000 to scale our reach. This funding allows us to remove the financial barriers like high registration fees or equipment costs that often keep the 'underdog' on the sidelines. We aren’t just hosting events, we’re building a permanent stage for girls to take the lead.
