Our vision you ask?!? 🤔
Every young person who touches a braid, leave with a business plan. 📖 SHARE this vision, then help us fill the room at braidsandbusinesseducation.org!
“So what’s your vision for this room?”
To fill it. With laughter. With belonging. With girls who walk in a little unsure and leave saying, “Look what I can do!” 🥹
If you’re new here, at Braids And Business Education (B.A.B.E.), we bring together hands on braiding, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and mentorship. Our youth learn to care for their hair, connect with their culture, recognize the value of their creativity and turn their skills into opportunities.
And at the heart of it all? Sisterhood. Identity. Community. Confidence. A safe space that feels like home while they learn.
Those mannequin heads, workbooks and B.A.B.E. aprons are only the beginning. The vision comes alive when our youth start talking, braiding, dancing and feeling comfortable enough to be themselves.
A braid becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes a friendship. A skill becomes the start of a business. And a young person begins to imagine a future they can help create. ✨
Help us make room for more of those moments.
Share this video with a parent, educator, business owner or someone who believes in our youth. Visit braidsandbusinesseducation.org to explore our programs and learn how to volunteer, partner or give.
Your share could connect the next young entrepreneur to their community. Your support could help them get started. 🫶🏾
