Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by people who refuse to stay broken by their story. Mentors like Forbes Riley taught me how to own my voice but the real fuel? The families sitting in fear, confusion, and overwhelm… just like I once was. They’re not just my inspiration they’re my responsibility.

How do you stay motivated?

I don’t rely on motivation I rely on mission. Motivation fades. Purpose doesn’t. Every setback I’ve lived through became proof that I’m built for this. And every person I help reminds me this isn’t optional. It’s what I’m here to do.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use it to scale a movement that prepares families before crisis hits through education, media, and accessible programs that change lives. Because when one family becomes prepared, protected, and empowered… it doesn’t just change their future it changes generations.
