Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is my pastor. From a young age I have watched them lead with vision, integrity, and purpose, and this has shaped how I approach leadership, entrepreneurship, and service. They have shown me how to combine faith with practical decision-making, navigate challenges while staying true to my values, and lead in a way that uplifts others. True success, I have learned from them, is not about recognition or titles, it is about creating impact, empowering people, and building.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my purpose, setting clear goals, and reminding myself of why I started. I lean on my faith for guidance and strength, celebrate small wins along the way, and keep my vision for the future in mind. Surrounding myself with positive influences and staying disciplined also helps me push through challenges and keep moving forward every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I received $25,000, I would use half to invest in my business, helping me grow creatively and professionally. I would also make sure to give back through tithes and offerings, honoring God and supporting others. The rest I would save and reinvest to continue building long-term opportunities and creating a foundation for growth.
