Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is all around me throughout my life. I like to keep things light, fun and pretty childish because you can grow older but you can keep your heart Young. The way I was brought up is my biggest source of inspiration because I came from nothing and you could create a lot with limited tools and a mind and heartful of ambition.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, it would go towards the goal of being the first person in my family to own a home where I can have my own space to continue to put my thoughts in my creations into existence. I noticed some people $25,000 isn't a lot but to me it is life-changing but not only help secure a home but it would help with medical debt and other debts occurred through life. Thank you for this opportunity
