Free RegistrationMy biggest inspiration in business is purpose. Turning pain into purpose and using my platform to create change, especially around gun violence prevention and supporting impacted families, drives everything I do.
How do you stay motivated?Seeing the impact on my community keeps me motivated. Knowing that sharing my story and advocating for gun violence prevention can bring awareness, healing, and support to families reminds me that this work matters. Every conversation, connection, and life touched pushes me to keep going and continue creating positive change.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to launch a multi-service center supporting families in need. The center would provide resources for food insecurity, mental health support, social services, and community programs creating a safe, supportive space where families can get the help they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
