Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration in business is the desire to create generational wealth and help others feel confident in themselves. As a beauty entrepreneur, I’m inspired by women who turned their skills into thriving brands and communities. I want to build a business that empowers people through beauty, self-care, and education while showing other young women that their passion can become a successful business.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by keeping my vision bigger than my challenges. I remind myself why I started—to create freedom, build something meaningful, and inspire others. Seeing progress in my clients, my brand, and my goals keeps me focused. I also stay motivated by continuing to learn, set new goals, and surround myself with people and content that push me to grow.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into expanding my beauty brand by developing and testing hair care products, improving my website and e-commerce store, and purchasing professional equipment and supplies. I would also use part of the funding for branding, marketing, and packaging so I can scale my business, reach more customers, and create products that support healthy hair and self-care.
