“Being a founder has given me a sense of purpose. It has given me an opportunity to take all of my past experiences, whether good, bad and/or tragic, and utilize those experiences to now create a mission that creates change for the better and even saves lives.”

“I am creating an ecosystem of creative haymakers - a crew of genius, rogue, boss organizers and activists that are interested in telling a new story based on the joys, pains, hopes, and ambitions of all of us across the world. A new story based on the possibilities of a world we have devised in 10-15 hour improv sessions, art making, quilting, storytelling, music, and dance!”

“As an entrepreneur, I am driven by the desire to innovate and the autonomy to implement solutions that align with my vision of a more inclusive and supportive world. Each venture I undertake is a step towards breaking down barriers and empowering communities, particularly those who are often marginalized.”

“I hope that Inspiring Futures creates a space that is welcoming and embracing of all those who have system-involvement and are trying to move forward in life. I hope Inspiring Futures successfully de-stigmatizes mental health, and that as a result, these incredible youth and young people are able to stay out of future systems that the foster care system is often a pipeline to, disrupting the narrative that foster care is a pipeline to jail, homelessness, and other negative outcomes.“

“Through Erudyte, my vision is to contribute to a world where education is truly inclusive, breaking down language barriers and providing equal opportunities for students regardless of their linguistic backgrounds. Ultimately, I envision a world where language is not a hindrance to academic success, and students can thrive, contribute meaningfully to society, and pursue their aspirations without limitations imposed by language barriers.”

“What I enjoy most about being a founder is the incredible opportunity it provides to champion causes that truly matter, like the taboos and stigmas surrounding women's health. Being a founder gives me a platform to make a meaningful difference, such as ensuring that the information we provide is both accessible and impactful.”

“Through [Southern Nevada Black Educators Initiative], I aspire to establish a realm that provides students of color with representation and opportunities. I envision a world abundant with culturally attuned, highly skilled Black educators passionately advocating for their students.”

“I want to create a world where everyone has equal access to resources and the ability to pursue their dreams. I hope to help create a world that emphasizes the importance of collaboration, inclusivity, and respect for different perspectives. I want a world where race, age, gender, social class, or background aren’t barriers to opportunity.”
