1Twenty Ten Club Teen Mentoring
At the Twenty Ten Club we know just how valuable sharing experiences can be. Each week we profile a Black female business role model to share how “they did it” and demonstrate, that while it can be hard work, starting and sustaining a business is 100% achievable.
On top of this, each month our members get together at our networking events to share our own experiences and support one another as we work towards our own goals with our respective ventures.
Sharing is powerful. Providing opportunities to share what you know or have experienced costs nothing but can make the world of difference to someone else.
Next week, the Twenty Ten Club will be going back to school where we will be sharing our experiences with pupils at one of the country’s leading enterprise schools.
