Food for Thought

Gallup studies show 27 percent of high school students take an entrepreneurial business course and 35 percent take an economics course. Statistics show eight in 10 African American high school students are interested in starting a business. While many students likely will get a job or enter college, there is an emerging trend among young women to start their own business, many young women have realized that an entrepreneurial career path is a "positive calling" that, when approached with thoughtful planning this can be rewarding and be their ticket to success.
