WE WON! 🏆💜 After 8 weeks in The Violet Book of Business, a small business coaching program sponsored by chase and the valkyries, Hey Carter! was awarded the $5,000 grand prize! When I walked into the room today, I had already released the need to win. I simply wanted the message of Hey Carter! to be heard by the people it was meant for. The truth is, the world doesn’t always see, celebrate, or invest in Black boys and men. At Hey Carter!, we do. We create books, curriculum, and experiences that remind Black boys they are brilliant, worthy, and deeply loved because every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. These past 8 weeks challenged me to think bigger, lead better, and tell that story with confidence. Also… I can officially stop watching sharktank Thank you to everyone who has believed in Hey Carter! This win belongs to all of us. We’re just getting started. 💛 . . . . #valkyries #chasebank #gsv #goldenstatewarriors #sephora
