Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

From a young age, I knew I was meant to build something meaningful, but I struggled to find direction. In 2025, I built a relationship with God that gave me clarity and purpose. Renters & landlords are using outdated systems that limit them from obtaining accurate information, which results in trust no longer holding weight. Now I’m building Truelease to help create transparency, fairness, and trust for everyone. This is bigger than business—it’s impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I align myself with purpose, reflecting who I am. I’ve trained myself to operate with discipline, consistency, and intention every day. What drives me is knowing that what I’m building will change the industry. Truelease allows renters to share a snapshot of their rental profile that helps landlords make faster, more confident decisions to fill their vacancies. When you’re working on something bigger than yourself, motivation isn’t optional, it's a responsiblity.

What would you do with the $25,000?

It would help to accelerate the launch and awareness of Truelease, a platform built to bring accountability and trust to the rental process. This funding would empower us to create a more balanced rental system where trust is built on factual data eliminating guesswork and uncertainty. This isn’t just about building a company—it's delivering an ultimate experience that benefits everyone involved.
