Some journeys begin not with footsteps but with resolve. With uncertainty in one hand and ambition in the other, first-generation entrepreneurs step onto a path unmarked by legacy—but rich in passion. This week, I was humbled to see that path recognized.

This moment felt even more special receiving the award from two visionaries:

Their presence reaffirmed the belief that purpose-driven businesses create more than products—they create change.
