Chef Will from 1 More Bite LLC, speaks to the Cincinnati Young Entrepreneurs.

Through out the year our interns learn from numerous Black Business Owners while simultaneously building skills through hands-on experience.

This type of real world learning deters youth from negative decisions and risk taking and creates future leaders.

We’re excited to kick off our fifth cohort of the Cincinnati Young Entrepreneurs Teen Internship Program tomorrow! We have more teens signed up than any year before, and we know this year is sure to bring many cool, powerful events to our city for teen entrepreneurs, like the CYE Teen Summit and the return of Black Wall Street Entrepreneurship Day at Taft High School, featuring local business owners sharing up close and personally what it takes to succeed.

Shout out to Mike Brown of Smashmouth Fitness for coming through this year, dropping gems not just about fitness, but about staying strong in mind and navigating these streets in a way that is truly powerful.

NUMBERS DON’T LIE. 📊

Nearly 50 young entrepreneurs served through our 2026 Cincinnati Young Entrepreneurs Summer Camps.

Another 150+ community members showed up, participated, shopped, and poured directly into our youth through our Youth Business Fairs.

This was one of our most successful CYE summer seasons yet and it was also Sweet Sistah Splash’s biggest grant year for Cincinnati Young Entrepreneurs.

And you can SEE the difference.

More funding allowed us to serve more youth, bring in more creative professionals and business owners, provide more hands-on experiences, create more products, and give our young entrepreneurs more opportunities to actually put what they learned into practice.

A HUGE thank you to our funders at the City of Cincinnati Human Services Fund and United Way of Greater Cincinnati for investing in our vision and, most importantly, investing in our youth. 🖤

This is also why I believe so strongly in teaching grant writing. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when good community work gets the financial support it deserves. And this is why I am committed to helping others attain Grant Funding!

Grant funding isn’t just money on paper. It’s programming. It’s access. It’s opportunity. It’s impact.

And these numbers? We can definitely work with these. 💪🏾

AfroArt After Dark Royalty. 👑

Every piece tells a story.

Eddie, our AfroSwag Top Model in-house pic, stepped onto the Street King Throne bringing his own story, presence and energy to the art. Dressed in Me By Lee and seated on a throne created by Nubian Woodworking, the whole image became a story of Black men and their relation to creativity, style and power.
