30 Jun Kalika named the Innovator of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal

I am humbled, and full of gratitude to be named the Innovator of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal. @labusinessjournal

This award is not just mine.  It belongs to everyone who are making their wildest dreams into reality — who bring the invisible – visible

Innovation is a collective effort; it’s born out of the desire to solve problems and make our world a better place. 💪

It’s not about individual brilliance, but a collaborative endeavor.

Together, let’s serve the world in ways we didn’t think were possible.

The heart of innovation is not in the grandeur of the invention, but in the simplicity of the solution it offers.

Every idea that solves a problem, no matter how small, carries the spark of innovation.

Kalika Yap: An Entrepreneur Empowering Women’s Business Growth. CEO of Citrus Studios Inc., Innovator of the Year Honoree, and a dedicated community leader.

I accept this award as a promise to continue seeking, exploring, and inventing.

I see a future filled with possibilities, where the power of technology and human creativity intertwine to shape a world that’s better, fairer, and more sustainable.

I invite each of you to join me in this exciting journey.

And remember — you’re innovating when you’re solving different problems every year.

If you’re still solving the same ol’ problem every year, try something different.

Thank you again for this incredible honor. ⭐

I’ve felt down, rudderless and purposeless since I lost my sweet mom (three weeks ago today). ❤️

Today’s award is the fuel that I needed to continue to  drive my innovation engine into the future.

I’d like to end with one of my favorite quotes that I learned from @acecoachtraining @drmarianemeth

“For all that has been, Thank you.🙏
For all that is to come, Yes! 🙌“

Dag Hammarskjold, Former Secretary-General of the United  Nations
