Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My greatest inspiration in business is my mother. Despite her health struggles, she continued to serve others with faith and generosity, often through her singing. I also watched her care for her own mother with remarkable diligence and love. Witnessing that level of sacrifice and devotion inspired me to build something that reflects the same spirit of service and perseverance.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering my purpose and the people who depend on me. Life has given me responsibilities that require resilience, especially caring for my mother. My faith reminds me that every challenge has meaning, and every small step forward matters. Knowing that my work can serve others and create something greater than myself keeps me disciplined and moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into growing two mission driven brands. I would create a filming and teaching space to expand my vocal coaching platform and produce educational content. I would also develop training resources for family caregivers, inspired by caring for my mother. My goal is to build a support and advocacy platform that equips families with tools, education, and community when caring for loved ones.
