Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my love of herbs and my desire to help people heal from the inside out. As a beauty educator, I saw how many scalp and hair concerns were connected to deeper wellness. That inspired me to create Nourished by I’Asia, blending herbal care, education, and holistic practices so people can feel confident, healthy, and truly nourished.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering my purpose: helping people feel confident and well through holistic care. Whether I’m educating future beauty professionals or creating herbal blends, I know the work I do can change someone’s relationship with their hair, scalp, and overall health. Seeing people regain confidence keeps me going.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to expand Nourished by I’Asia by increasing production of my herbal hair, scalp, and wellness products, securing better packaging and equipment, and creating educational resources that teach beauty professionals how to incorporate herbal wellness into their services. My goal is to build a brand that nurtures both beauty and health.
