Congratulations to SOAR with LaCOR alumnus Devante Sims!
Devante joined the youth enrichment program at just 15 years old. Through SOAR with LaCOR, he embraced valuable lessons that helped shape his journey into entrepreneurship. Now 21, and mentored by Dr. Delaney, Devante launched his real estate wholesaling business in 2025.
Recently, he met with Heather Troxclair, Branch Manager and Assistant Vice President of Gulf Coast Bank and Trust, to open his business savings and checking accounts. In the photo, Heather and Devante are discussing strategic banking solutions and ways to scale his business while protecting his assets.
We are incredibly proud of Devante and all he’s accomplished—congratulations!
