“I have discovered my own talents through interactive learning that is relevant to the corporate world.”

Jaleesa credits her involvement with NFTE for getting her more excited about school. “As I am preparing for college, I have evolved into a committed, enthusiastic entrepreneur,” Jaleesa says. Her business plan, NecK-iT, is for an urban-inspired line of denim-wear for males and females. Jaleesa plans to attend either Clark Atlanta University or the University of Illinois after high school.
