Peace Friends,
As we enter the State of Independence, youth are stepping up as masters of their own fate by becoming business owners. This movement is especially inspiring following a commerce-driven weekend like Black-Owned Friday and Small Business Saturday.
In my search for impactful initiatives to support, I discovered the Children’s Business Fair, an organization that offer children a platform to start and showcase their own businesses. This is where kids can develop entrepreneurial skills and experience the thrill of running their own ventures.
According to MBO Partners, 54% of independent workers say they feel more secure working independently than in a traditional job.
This insight from the State of Independence report highlights a growing shift towards self-employment as a path to stability and fulfillment. Initiatives like the Children’s Business Fair could be the first step in imbuing this independence and self-reliance in people from an early age.
If you're as inspired as I am, check out how you can create or join a small business fair specifically designed for children.
