Her journey is intertwined with her family's legacy of business ownership, where entrepreneurship has been a constant thread throughout her life. But more than just a shared familial tradition, she is an entrepreneur, venturing into various business endeavors and continuously exploring new opportunities.

Her entrepreneurial path, like many, has been marked by challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons. Through the highs and lows, she has gained firsthand insights into the unique hurdles faced by women entrepreneurs, especially those from black and brown communities. Despite her determination and dedication, she understands that having access to the right resources, guidance, and mentors can make all the difference in the world.

But her commitment extends beyond herself and her generation. She takes immense pride in seeing her daughter and nieces, ranging from young adults to middle schoolers, nurturing their entrepreneurial dreams. She aims to create an environment where they and countless other women can not only dream but also realize those dreams, supported by a network of like-minded individuals.

Through EmpoweringHER, she aspires to be the mentor, advocate, and guide that she wishes she had on her own journey. She believes, she can uplift, empower, and inspire others to achieve extraordinary success in the world of entrepreneurship.
