What does being a minority business, or supporting minority businesses, mean to you?
Being a minority business means proudly embracing and reflecting the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and strengths that make up our communities. It’s about more than just representation; it’s about the resilience and unique perspective that minority-owned businesses bring to the table. For me, it means using my platform to show that success and impact are within reach for anyone, regardless of background.
Supporting minority businesses is equally powerful. It’s an opportunity to uplift those who have historically faced challenges accessing the same resources or networks. By partnering with and promoting these businesses, we build a more equitable and inclusive economy. Each connection, contract, and success story contributes to a larger movement for diversity and opportunity, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.

What is one thing you wish you had known when you were starting out in your career?
One thing I wish I had known early on is the power of intentional networking. At first, I focused primarily on honing my technical skills and knowledge, believing that hard work alone would propel my career. While those qualities are essential, I later realized that building relationships and surrounding yourself with mentors and advocates can open doors in ways that skills alone sometimes cannot. Meaningful connections offer guidance, new perspectives, and resources that are crucial for growth, especially as an entrepreneur. Knowing this from the start would have helped me establish a strong support network even sooner.
