Q1: What inspired you to become a mompreneur and how did you get started?

Cristelle: My biggest inspiration is my son. When I became a single parent in 2006, I realized that I needed to do something to provide for my family. I wanted to be able to support my son and give him a comfortable life. So, I started my own business.

Q2: How did you handle balancing your business and parenting duties?

Cristelle: Balancing everything was really hard at first, especially because I was a single parent. But I learned to focus on my goals and keep striving hard. I also made sure to prioritize my time and manage it efficiently. It wasn't easy, but it was definitely worth it.

Q3: What were the biggest challenges you faced, and how did you overcome them?

Cristelle: Raising a child and running a business at the same time was the biggest challenge for me. But, my business partner and family were always there to support and guide me in everything that I do. All the negativity throughout my journey motivated me and made me stronger.

Q4: What tips or advice do you have for other moms who want to start a business while raising a family?

Cristelle: My advice for other moms is to always focus on your goal. Make sure to ignore any negativity that comes your way and remain completely detached. Stay positive and don't forget to ask for guidance from our Almighty God. Have faith that someday, you will become successful.
