Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Here’s a version within ~500 characters: I’m inspired by many—powerful women, fearless entrepreneurs, and those who built something from nothing. But ultimately, I inspire myself. My journey has taught me that true motivation comes from within. Every challenge I’ve faced has strengthened my discipline, vision, and drive. I don’t wait for inspiration—I create it. That mindset fuels my business, my creativity, and the impact I strive to make every day.

How do you stay motivated?

My children are my greatest motivation. I’ve been a mother since 16, and now at 39, I’m still grinding with the same passion and hunger. I’ve never allowed where I started to limit how far I can grow. I believe there is always room for improvement, and that mindset keeps me evolving. I stay driven by purpose, growth, and the example I set for my children every single day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest 10k into some of the marketing for my talk show Tales Of A Latina. I would take the rest and split it and put into an Roth IRA for both my kids. So that I can finally feel some ease. It’s something I been trying to do for a while but my finances don’t allow! Every month it’s a new bill!
