LANCASTER — A local nonprofit dedicated to empowering young people through braiding education, entrepreneurship and mentorship is inviting the community to support its mission during an upcoming Chick-fil-A Spirit Night fundraiser on Thursday.
Founded by Antelope Valley entrepreneur and beauty industry professional Pashyon Jackson, Boss Kids Braiding Academy serves youth ages 7 to 17 by teaching braiding techniques while also helping students develop leadership skills, confidence and entrepreneurial mindsets. Proceeds from the fundraiser will help provide scholarships for the academy’s summer camp and educational programs, ensuring more local children have access to enrichment opportunities regardless of financial circumstances.
