POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

and just like that…..we have officially finished WEEK 1🤩💯

swipe to see what we’ve been up to👀‼️

DAY 1

starting off strong, we had aarushi @aarushi_bhargavaa talk about her experience with staring with her perfume oil business @aavaia.co, and gave our students a real look into the entrepreneurship journey 🌸✨

we also had the pleasure of inviting @africacentreyeg to share the ujima fellowship program‼️ (which is another great opportunity for the youth in case if you’re interested 😋)

lastly, we have introduced our mentors that have been helping our students build their business 👩🏽‍💼 📈

DAY 2

@kalkidannd shares her focus of the day “have the audacity!” encouraging our students to step out of our comfort zone and be bold even when it seems intimidating 😵‍💫🔝💯

then, latoya @latoya_elle shares the importance of personal branding, and how your story, values and character can play a huge role in your business 🫟🎨

DAY 3

we took a break from our usual programming and had the chance to volunteer at samaritan’s purse! @spcanada, creating a meaningful experience while also learning about the amazing work they’ve done 💚💒🫂

DAY 4

during focus of the day, paul @lls._.dre challenged our students to look at the problems around them a little differently, instead of only noticing what could be better, they were encouraged to think about how those problems could become opportunities to create something meaningful. 👀🗣️

we had the opportunity to invite @mrgoopie to talk about his experience with content creation as well as going in depth with personal branding 💯🇪🇹📲
