Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration in business is my family. Watching them work tirelessly and sacrifice so much to give me and my siblings opportunities shaped how I see success. Their resilience taught me that hard work and love can build something lasting. I built my company to honor that spirit—to create something meaningful, inspire others, and one day give back to the people who gave me everything.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on the bigger purpose behind what I’m building. Every challenge is a reminder that growth takes persistence. Knowing that my brand can inspire confidence, creativity, and community keeps me going. I’m driven by the vision of building something meaningful that not only reflects my journey, but also encourages others to believe in their own.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would invest in elevating my brand through improved packaging, strategic marketing, and overall brand development. I would expand in-person experiences like pop-ups and charm bar events to build meaningful community connections, while also creating initiatives that give back to the community that has supported my journey. This funding would help strengthen the brand and scale its impact.
