What is Entrepreneur of Impact?

Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business was inspired by a passion for creating and sharing chocolate, and by my late grandmother, who believed in giving and bringing people together. Dubai Chocolate CLE is more than a brand, it’s a way to connect people and give back. Her generosity continues to shape our mission, turning something simple into something meaningful.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my goals and reminding myself why I started. I think about the impact I want to make and the people who inspire me, especially my family. Even when I don’t feel motivated, I stay disciplined and keep working, knowing that consistency is what leads to success.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would invest in a commercial kitchen to scale production and improve efficiency, and upgrade my packaging to elevate my brand and increase sales. With higher revenue, I would dedicate a portion of profits to giving back, continuing my mission of supporting others through my business.
