Transformative Changes

Last week was nothing short of amazing! I had the honor of being a speaker at the Richmond Children’s Business Fair Summit, sharing my journey as a young entrepreneur and the story behind MH Boxes. Then, I got to showcase my nonprofit alongside other incredible youth businesses at the RCBF Fair—what an unforgettable experience! This week, I’m gearing up for another exciting event—the 2025 The Metropolitan Business League Awards & Dinner Reception! ?? I can’t wait to celebrate and connect with leaders, changemakers, and fellow entrepreneurs who are making an impact in their communities. And of course, I had to show up and show out in my “Black is Transformational” hoodie from Transformative Changes —because Black excellence is exactly that: TRANSFORMATIONAL. ??? I’m so grateful for all of these opportunities, the connections I’ve made, and the support I continue to receive. This is just the beginning! #MBLAwards #YouthEntrepreneurship #BlackIsTransformational #RichmondChildrensBusinessFair #SupportYoungEntrepreneurs #MHBoxes #EntrepreneursInTheMaking
