Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration in business comes from my journey, my family, and my culture. As a mother and entrepreneur, I’ve built my business from the ground up while showing my daughters what’s possible through hard work and resilience. I’m also inspired by bringing Afro-Caribbean flavors into new spaces—it’s more than food, it’s about connection, representation, and creating experiences people remember.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started—my family, my purpose, and the vision I have for my business. Every event, every client, and every opportunity to grow pushes me to keep going. I also stay inspired by the impact I’m creating, knowing I’m building something bigger than myself and opening doors for others along the way.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win, I would invest in scaling my business—expanding our capacity, strengthening our team, and securing more corporate partnerships. I’d also use the opportunity to elevate my brand nationally and create more opportunities for others. Most importantly, I would continue building a business that represents culture, excellence, and lasting impact.
