The executive board of Taizdaze Charity is elated to report on the completion of yet another successful initiative. On a mission to curb the problems the youth of Anguilla face today, Taizdaze Charity continues to create solutions and provide forums in which the youth can effectively express themselves. The most recent initiative organized and executed by the Charity, was the second annual Kidtrepreneur Expo which took place on Saturday, the 14th of March 2020.
During this event, young entrepreneurs (ages 19 and under) were given the opportunity to pitch their businesses, sell their products and/or display their ideas & concepts and receive mentorship from some of the island’s most thriving entrepreneurs. There was a wide variety of categories represented, ranging from fashion and design, to hair and skin care, photography and delicious goodies. Apart from experiencing a significant increase in participation, this event continues to be applauded for its innovation. Both parents and members of the general public have expressed satisfaction in the quality of the event and the impressive young entrepreneurs. Members of the general public were very supportive of the youngsters by offering welcomed knowledge and purchasing several products.
The young entrepreneurs were:
Jemima “Jade” Carty (Shelled by Jade), Tahjique Connor (Creamee Creationz), Keon Woodley (KWP), Sheridan (SlayedbySheri), Quesnea Connor-Gumbs (Hunny Parlor), Kiesha Edwards (Keisha’s Sweet Treats), Candiesha Richards (Candie’s Arc de Cheveux), Khymbria Richardson-Webster (Kutz by Khym), Keishana Harrigan, Ayinde Hodge (Ayinde’s Tie Dye) and Tsehai Carty (Sunshine Treats).
