Cheryl is a serial entrepreneur, and she continues to look for new challenges and opportunities. The following is an excerpt from Cheryl's speech during the NY Metro Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge Finals.

“I'm really impressed. One of the reasons I wanted to be involved with NFTE is because of the creativity and energy of these young minds. It reminds me of my first entrepreneurial endeavor, but I will explain that later.

What’s it like to teach a winning young entrepreneur at a NFTE school? Two NFTE Greater DC teachers, Stephanie Harmony and Erin Cribbs, share their experiences in this interview with Pivotal Plays and the importance of youth entrepreneurship. Plus, both teachers talk about why NFTE’s entrepreneurship programs are unique and the importance of mentors for young entrepreneurs.

Navarrow Wright is the CTO of Interactive One, the largest digital media company serving Black Americans. He recently spoke during the NFTE Philadelphia Regional Finals. Listen to how he describes the issue of technology exposure within the young black community and how NFTE can help grow young entrepreneurs.
