Who Is Your Hero? Why?

My hero is my mother. She died 23 years ago and the greatest lesson she taught me was to be courageous. Never give up. Defeat is not an option.

What Project Would A Laptop Help You With?

My goal is to teach women how to run their small business with a big business perspective. This will support women in generating more income, which in turn will drive the need to expand operations and create more jobs for the community. I need a laptop in order to do research, write grants, and apply for small business loans. It will also help me to keep track of my incoming staff’s hours and tasks.

What do you love about this project?

I love that I get to engage my community and help support women and minorities to grow.

Kreyol and English.

Given a choice, would you prefer a Mac or PC?
