Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I'm driven by my mother, my Haitian roots, and neurodivergent founders who’ve had to survive their way to success. When art rewired my nervous system, I turned my process into a successful program, and realized that branding is transformative work. I’m not just building businesses - I’m buildup ecosystems where healing and capital can coexist, where people can win by being their authentic selves.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay grounded by remembering this work existed before the audience, the team, or the funding. MINDART was built while I was still healing from the loss of a loved one. It has never required external validation - only my commitment to show up. On the hardest days, I return to the work itself: the canvas, the frameworks, and the people already impacted. That’s enough to keep going.

What would you do with the $25,000?

MINDART’s methodology has served organization’s - now it’s time to bring Creative Wellness to the community. The $25K would fund a targeted launch campaign to share our process through workshops and community activations - helping individuals gain clarity through our Brand Therapy modality. Our impact is proven. What we need now is the megaphone to reach those who need our work the most. This investment would unlock MINDART 2.0.
