The Inaugural launch of Minority Enterprise was held at Hempstead Town Hall hosted by the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. and the African American Small Business Foundation, Inc.

Phil Andrews, President of the Long Island African American Chamber Commerce, Inc. stated in Newsday “The enterprise development week aims to increase awareness about the Small Business Development Centers, Service Corps of Retired Executives, Hofstra’s Ascend Long Island and other programs that help people turn their ideas into companies.” 

“We want to give minority entrepreneurs access to information, tools and resources to grow their business,” he told about 60 people who attended the enterprise event at Hempstead Town Hall.” Phil Andrews  

The 400-member chamber has been selected for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Community Navigator Program as a spoke, a 100 million outreach effort to firm that are in underserved communities and have been adversely impacted by the Covid-19 crises.  A theme of MED Week was that Minority entrepreneurs can benefit from increased commitment of the federal and state governments to award contracts to them, but only if they first have a strong, well-organized operation, officials said at the conference.  The ultimate goal for MED Week is to expand MED Week into MED Month in 2023.

Complete Girlz Inc. Announces Six Virtual Workshops on Self-Esteem and Leadership for Young Girls Ages 12+

The workshops will empower young women between 12 and 24 years old to develop their abilities, become better leaders, own their future—and excel in everything they do in life. Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States, once said, “Success isn’t about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”

This is the motivation behind the establishment of Complete Girlz Inc., a non-profit organization that offers young women between the ages of 12 and 24 a full-service program geared towards helping them become better personalities. Today, Complete Girlz is pleased to announce its upcoming virtual youth empowerment sessions on self-esteem and leadership specially designed for young ladies.

Complete Girlz is a mentorship and empowerment platform that offers uniquely crafted, holistic leadership training to young women in today’s rapidly evolving world and this lineup of virtual workshops is a step in the fulfillment of its vision. According to Earlene Lezama-Taylor, President and CEO of Complete Girlz Inc., the organization will host six virtual empowerment sessions from October until December. “Every lady should possess a high sense of self-esteem and good leadership skills,” said Earlene.

“The workshops will feature keynote lectures by well-respected and authority teachers who will provide guidance, tips, and hacks for young women to develop these essential traits. Women have been marginalized for too long, and to correct this we need to nurture these young ladies.”
