How to Succeed in Brown’s Business Incubator
Success starts with purpose—knowing why you do what you do. Stay consistent, deliver quality every time, and be open to learning. Use the resources around you, build strong relationships, and stay connected to your community.
Most importantly, remain grounded in faith, resilience, and vision. Brown’s Business Incubator isn’t just a place to sell—it’s where you grow, scale, and prepare for what’s next.
Who or what is your inspiration in business?
My inspiration in business comes from trailblazer Madam C. J. Walker, who showed that entrepreneurship can create generational wealth while uplifting communities. I’m also inspired by my two youngest daughters, who motivate me to build a lasting legacy. After 35 years as an entrepreneur, my mission through Sister’s Original Supreme Pies and our CEO Initiative is to create opportunity, mentor future entrepreneurs, and help build stronger communities.
How do you stay motivated?
My motivation comes from faith in God, the gift of life, and my children and grandchildren who inspire me to build a lasting legacy. I’m grateful for my mentors, especially one I have been blessed with who shaped my work ethic at 19. I’m also driven by my community, loyal customers, and the support of Brown’s ShopRite Business Incubator Program, the Urban League of Philadelphia , Entrepreneur Works, Brown Street Cafe and Get Fresh Daily community partners.
