Partial Article below:
DETROIT – For so many, it is a beautiful honor to be able to fulfill the legacy of a parent or loved one.

For Belinda Beard, her business “The Egg Roll Diva” is a dedication to her mother, Cynthia Bell, who crafted unique egg roll recipes in the late 1980s—far before today’s egg roll “craze.”

With a great business rooted in love and legacy, Beard entered the Michigan Women Forward Southeast Michigan WomanUp & Pitch Competition where she was connected to coaches and mentors who provided professional services and expert advice to help the contestants create viable business plans and craft a compelling business pitch.

Beard had the good fortune of being mentored by Steve Davis, Michigan Market President of Comerica Bank.

“Belinda is truly inspiring,” said Davis. “Getting to know her and mentoring her through Michigan Women Forward was an honor, and I was impressed to see where she is on her journey. She is committed to both the day-to-day operations of her business but also to the learning process that it takes to be a successful business owner.”

Davis continued. “Egg Roll Diva is a passion of hers and you can see that passion showing though her dedication and hard work. I can’t wait to see what is on the horizon for her. The future is very bright for Belinda and Egg Roll Diva.”

“Inspiring” is also the word that Beard uses to describe being mentored by Davis. She says, “I had the perfect mentor for the competition. I really feel like he really helped me.”

“Belinda stood out because she’s the perfect blend of passion, perseverance, and purpose,” says Carolyn Cassin, CEO of Michigan Women Forward.
