What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy inspiration came from a place of healing. I lost my mother at a very young age and I started going to the gym to work out, when I decided to compete I could not afford nor find a swimsuit to fit my body type. I started designing swimsuits. I find that women can be very vulnerable in a swimsuit, therefore I decided to start making swimwear to empower woman to feel confident with function in fashion.
How do you stay motivated?My clients, Woman keep me motivated, all sizes. Motivation follows action. You just have to start moving. As my brand became recognized I connected my purpose within my progress, My motivation is more than a feeling, It is the smiles I create, the confidence in others. I love what I do. I visualize the future. The love from my influencers, customers and celebrities keep me inspired.
What would you do with the $25,000?When I win the $25,000 I would hire a team to create a more advanced wholesale and retail website for my brand. I also need to expand my manufacturing base. I need expert’s to advise me to a more informed, professional future. Collaborating we can win together. I am also going to incorporate a current brand to my website, WEB presence first. It is important to reach a larger audience and clientele base to become united and bring my dreams to life.
