2022 AMBITION ACCELERATOR COMPETITION SEMI-FINALIST
I was selected as a semi-finalist in the Ambition Accelerator Competition, hosted by Ashoka Changemakers and The Taco Bell Foundation, for my non-profit idea, Black Girls Talk. As one of 25 teams invited to Taco Bell HQ in Irvine, CA, I participated in an intensive week of workshops on pitching, social media marketing, team management, and leadership development. It was during this transformative experience that the idea for The Up & Coming was born, shaping my vision for empowering young professionals and entrepreneurs.
