Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up, the brands who inspired me the most were Supreme and Bape as I admired their simple yet eye-catching designs, their limited collection drops and the way they created an iconic street lifestyle. I always took notes on how Supreme merged street, skater and music cultures to create street fashion trends that fostered a loyal audience base over the years. Supreme has inspired me to build WORTHYOPP as a brand that sets the tone in original street fashion and powerful, positive messaging.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated through daily meditation, journaling, research on my expertise and creating 1 thing a day. When creating 1 thing a day, this doesn’t have to be anything big or fully complete but I discipline myself in using my sewing machine or my computer to start any type of project. Practicing my skill everyday serves as a constant reminder of who I am as a powerful creator. Meditation and journaling has been grounding for my routine and managing my day-to-day tasks.

What would you do with the $25,000?

This 25K would be invested into specific sections of my business to increase production output and audience exposure worldwide. It would be split up as follows: • $5683 would go towards Personal/Business Debt • $3000 to Business Travel for showcasing in NYFW and Paris FW 2026 • $3000 to Advertising / Marketing / PR • $2000 to Licensing • $3500 to Business Equipment • $2000 for Community Workshops and Event Spaces • The rest of $5817 for new home office rent!
