What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy biggest inspiration is my journey as a single mother building something from nothing. I started my company with determination, faith, and the belief that hard work can change your life. Every obstacle I’ve faced pushed me to grow stronger. I’m inspired by the ability to create opportunities not only for myself, but for others who need a second chance to work, rebuild, and provide for their families.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by remembering that giving up was never an option for me. As a mother and business owner, I carry the responsibility of building a better future for my family. Every contract, every challenge, and every long night reminds me that I’m building something bigger than myself. My motivation comes from resilience, purpose, and the desire to prove that setbacks can become success stories.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning $25,000 would allow me to scale my business, Second Chance Shine, LLC, and create more opportunities for others. I would invest in commercial equipment, expand my team, and pursue larger contracts. My mission is not just to grow a company, but to build a business that provides jobs, restores dignity through work, and proves that with determination, anyone can create a new path forward.
