Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration behind Homegirl Brands is creating a space where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to take care of themselves and each other. Growing up in Richmond, I saw how powerful community among women can be. Homegirl Brands was created to build sisterhood through wellness, movement, and connection while inspiring women to live healthier, more confident lives together.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering that Homegirl Brands is bigger than me. It’s about building community, creating spaces for women to heal, move, and feel supported. Every time I see women show up, connect, and grow through what we’re building, it reminds me why I started and keeps me pushing forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into expanding Homegirl Brands and strengthening our impact in women’s wellness. The funds would support community events like Homegirl Hike and Homegirl Healing, brand marketing, merchandise production, and building digital platforms to grow our community. The goal is to scale the movement, reach more women, and create sustainable programs centered around health, sisterhood, and empowerment.
