Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my faith in God, my family, and the needs I see in my community. As a mother and entrepreneur, I understand how important safe transportation and access to food are for families. Seeing parents struggle to get their children to school or find affordable meals motivates me to create businesses that serve people, build trust, and bring real solutions to the community.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated through prayer, faith, and remembering the purpose behind what I do. My businesses are not just about income—they are about helping families and children in my community. When challenges come, I focus on the lives being impacted and the vision God placed in my heart. That purpose keeps me pushing forward even on difficult days.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 would help expand my businesses to better serve the community. I would invest in equipment, safety upgrades, and operational support for Kids Exhale Transportations, and continue building Nanahas’ Kitchen to provide accessible meals for families. The funding would also help create jobs, increase service capacity, and strengthen reliable resources for children and parents in our community.
