Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration first and foremost is my faith in God as He has proven Himself to me time and time again and also the woman who refuses to quit. I’ve been homeless, rebuilt my life from nothing, and seen how many capable women feel stuck in survival mode after hardship. I’m driven to change that. Women Who Rise exists to help women reclaim their strength, build income, and step back into leadership so their hardest chapters become the foundation for something greater.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated because I know what it feels like to lose everything and still have to get back up. When you’ve rebuilt your life from rock bottom, quitting stops being an option. Every challenge reminds me why Women Who Rise matters. Somewhere a woman is waiting for proof that her story isn’t over yet—and I intend to be part of showing her that it’s not.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to accelerate the growth of Women Who Rise—a movement helping women rebuild their lives and create real economic independence and peace after adversity. The funding would expand our digital platform, training resources, and community reach so more women can learn to generate income, regain confidence, and step into leadership. When women rise financially and personally, entire families and communities rise with them.
