‼️FULL CIRCLE MOMENT‼️ (long caption alert;(
This past Friday, I pulled up to Highland Springs to check in on Mr. Keylon Mayo’s entrepreneurship class—the same Mr. Mayo who was my classmate back at VCU and now teaches the next generation of hustlers and creators. Not only is he guiding young minds, but he’s also an entrepreneur himself with his own line of ties— salute!
A month ago, I challenged his students to tap into their inner juicers. With new centrifugal juicers in the classroom and a little guidance from me, they broke into teams and created juice blends aimed at healing the community. The challenge? Research fruits and vegetables, understand their benefits, and make a juice that targets issues like high blood pressure, inflammation, and cholesterol. Then they had to pitch it—name, brand, benefits, and all.
Out of five dope presentations, two teams stood out: Clean Palate and Flow Juice. These winning creations will be sold at Juice Life RVA for a limited time, with a portion of proceeds going back to Highland Springs.
This is what legacy looks like. Real ones give back and lift others up.
Stay tuned for when Clean Palate and Flow Juice hit the menu. Support these young entrepreneurs—this is just the beginning. 🙏🏾 💚
