Youth Pitch
Competition
June 16, 2018

HCC Center for Entrepreneurship- Southeast, in partnership with Solel International hosted the first Youth Pitch competition, where 15 young entrepreneurs from Cuney Homes 3rd Ward, took center stage in pitching to a panel of judges from Morgan Stanley, HCC and Crow's Eye Studios.
Amongst our guest speakers, Ms. Shareca Vallaire shared her family's inspirational story; Brice Everhart her 11-year old son started Vallaire's for Men, after witnessing his sister Brooke's
haute couture fashion design business when she was barely 14 years old.
Brice Everhart has been spotlighted by
Small Business Today Magazine, and recognized by Mayor Sylvester.
The first workshop started with so much excitement where participants learned how to develop their pitch ideas with Professor Ravi Brahmbhatt, Director of Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The workshop was followed by Mr. Aaron Mosley, who presented the importance of marketing when developing a business at a young age. Professor Paralee Shivers from HCC's Business Center of Excellence brought a refreshing boost of energy and taught the children the skills that sharpened their pitch for their individual presentations.
After the judges reviewed and scored all presentations, the top 3 winners were selected. First place winner was Muhammed Nelson, 12- year old social entrepreneur and Founder of Yung Blak Warrior who wore his product which was an inspirational t-shirt. He explained to the judges that the money he receives from his t-shirts he gives to help the homeless. The second place winner is Mahlah Freeman and third place winner is Destiny Daniels and Blake Afuye. All of the participants received certificates and other prizes during the event. The event was a great success and will become an annual event at the Southeast campus.
We thank our sponsors: Kroger's, Chick-Fil-A, Papa John's Pizza, and Alonti Catering Kitchen for their support and ongoing contribution.
