What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part about being a mom is seeing my son’s smile and knowing that I’m raising a kind, thoughtful, and respectful young boy. When people compliment how well-mannered and helpful he is, it reminds me that the love and guidance I pour into him every day is making a difference. Watching him pray, say his affirmations, and ask to play gospel music fills my heart—it’s those little moments that let me know I’m doing something right. It’s not always easy, but it’s the best reward.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory I will never forget is the day my son was drawing and turned to me and asked, “Mommy, what does God look like?” He wanted to draw Him. I was speechless for a second because how do you answer something like that? But in that moment, I could feel his heart yearning for a relationship with God. It wasn’t just curiosity—it was something deeper. I gently told him to pray and ask God to reveal Himself, because I believe that connection is personal and real. That moment won my heart.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I win the $20,000, I would use it to create more stability and opportunities for my son and me. I’d pay off bills, catch up where needed, and save toward his education and a better home environment—one where he can continue to feel safe, loved, and inspired. I would also pour into others, because I believe in giving back and being a blessing when I’m blessed. A portion of the money would go toward growing my handmade skincare business, which is rooted in faith and created for everyone.
