Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is a blend of family legacy and community purpose. The entrepreneurial spirit of my grandmother, mother, and father, rooted in the Christian church, gave me my foundation. After health issues shifted my path, a talk with my first artist, Freezy the Don, sparked MsJosalyns Promotions2017. I m driven by the resilience of Black entertainers and visionary leaders. To me, business is about continuing a tradition of leadership, empowerment, and service

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation is the legacy of my deceased parents, grandmother, brothers, and best friend. As the last one left, I carry their dreams alongside my own. I am driven to stay disciplined for my health and my business because the world needs the unique entertainment style only MsJosalyns Promotions2017 provides. Every step I take toward my 460lb weight loss and every artist I elevate is a tribute to those I ve lost. I am the vessel for our family s success; I cannot and will not stop

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will fund a 90-day 'Rebuild & Rise' transformation in Rochester, including medical fitness to reach 460lb mobility goals and Dale Carnegie leadership training. As the only one left in my family, I ll secure our legacy through trademarks and vlogging gear. I ll then use the funds to leave NY for the first time in years to bond with my artists in OK, MD, and MS. This isn't just a trip; it s my first time seeing the world while bringing my unique entertainment style to the masses.
